BROTHERS IN THE TAKEA Heist Thriller of Orphaned Siblings, a Found Family of Thieves, and the Score That Changes Everythingby Cormac SlateHOOK:Two orphaned brothers raised by a crew of thieves must pull off the most dangerous heist of their lives to save the only father they've ever known - before a debt made before they were born gets him killed.BLURB:Callan and Jonah Reyes lost everything the night their father died owing money to the wrong people. What they found instead was Silas Doyle - a master thief who took two grieving boys off a porch step and raised them into a family built on two simple rules: take only from those who can afford to lose it, and show up for each other, no matter the cost.Twenty-six years later, that promise comes due.A debt Silas made decades before either brother was born - a promise to a dangerous crime family, signed in desperation to save a dying friend - has been called in by a man who inherited both the debt and his father's ruthlessness. Pay four million dollars in ten days, or lose the only father Callan and Jonah have ever known.The crew doesn't have the money. What they have is skill, loyalty, and a plan audacious enough to be either brilliant or suicidal: rob the private vault of the very organization threatening Silas's life, and walk away with the one piece of leverage that could end the threat for good.But careful, methodical Callan and reckless, big-hearted Jonah have never had to trust each other completely - not with secrets, not with fear, not with everything on the line. As old wounds resurface, a hardened crew member from Jonah's past returns to help plan the job, and the countdown to Silas's deadline collapses from weeks to hours, the brothers will have to decide what family really means when the stakes are life or death.The score of a lifetime is within reach.
