The Devil’s Share by Wallace Stroby & Young Americans by Josh StallingsRead about another book on the list.
Both of these books understand it’s not as much the crime as it is the characters committing it that make a great heist novel. That said, both have great set pieces; The Devil’s Share deals with the hijacking of Iraqi art about to be repatriated, and The Young Americans are robbing a gay disco during the glitter rock era of the Seventies.
