Thieves by Steve Russo



This may have been a morality play. It seems like it may want you to question what you would do if you were scrambling to survive and an opportunity came up to dramatically improve your life without causing major damage to someone else. Stir into that recipe a sociopath on the run from a cartel.


Russo portrayed a truly despicable character in Skooley. Skooley was a sociopath. Weak impulse control, sly, prone to bursts of rage, and occasionally able to feign sociability. His fate could ignite little or no remorse.
The inferences that Russo made to the Russells’ background were more than adequate to explain the cash-caching impulses that were demonstrated.


Esmeralda demonstrates a flexible morality that may accompany abject working poverty. The haves stru


ggle to understand have have-nots and vice versa.


Lorretta exhibits the emotional devastation that can result in a close encounter with a perverse predator.


I enjoyed the book and recommend it.
