About this listen

Four masked men - thieves, rivals, and friends from the tough streets of Charlestown - take on a Boston bank at gunpoint. Holding bank manager Claire Keesey hostage and cleaning out the vault were simple tasks. But career criminal Doug MacRay didnt plan on one thing: falling hard for Claire.

When he tracks her down without his mask and gun, their mutual attraction is undeniable. With a tenacious FBI agent following his every move, he imagines a life away from his gritty, dangerous work, a life centered around Claire. But before that can happen, Doug and his crew learn that there may be a way to rob Boston's venerable baseball stadium, Fenway Park. Risky yet utterly irresistible, it would be the perfect heist to end his criminal career and begin a new life. But, as it turns out, pursuing Claire may be the most dangerous act of all.

Racing to an explosive climax, The Town is a brash tale of robbery in all its forms - and an unforgettable odyssey of crime, love, ambition, and dreams.

Such a great book

This book is vary good and if your reading this review your wondering why not read “Prince of Thieves”. Because the voice narrating by Donnie Wahlberg gives it more authenticity then the voice narrating that “Prince of Thieves has. My only fault with this book is they cut out some of the story grime “Prince Of Thieves. But giving that it’s missing information it still does not take away from the character development. In conclusion I would recommend this book to any who is a fan of the movie or just looking for a heist/thriller movie with a conflicting love story

Excellent narration

I wasn’t sure about the story when I started listening but the narration drew me in. Thank you to the narrator and the author. I hope to find other books read by this narrator.
