Description

Wilson should have just walked away when three men came looking for a way to boost a valuable piece of art. But the heist was more than just a job for Wilson; it was a chance to get off the sidelines and back in the game. A dangerous man wants Wilson to get him something more valuable than a painting. Wilson and his crew cross the border to Buffalo to steal a 200-year-old violin. Four men cross, but four don't come back. The job starts like a bad joke - a thief, a con man, a wheel man and a gangster get in line to cross the border - but this job doesn't end with a punch-line...

Reviews

"I must ask once more why Mike Knowles is not a bigger star. His lead character, the professional thief Wilson, is clearly in the vein of Richard Stark's Parker but very much his own man and criminal, a little more reluctant and a little more pissed off when the proverbial crap hits the fan. The extra bonus of The Buffalo Job (ECW Press) is that the Stradivarius heist echos a real-life case from months earlier while being smarter, funnier, and more violent." -- National Post
"This is a very good entry in a very good series." -- Booklist
