Henry ""call me Hank"" Thompson used to play California baseball. Now he tends to a bar on Manhattan's Lower East Side. When two Russians in tracksuits beat Hank to a pulp, he gets the clue- someone wants something from him. He just doesn't know what it is, where it is, or how to make them understand he doesn't have it.

Within twenty-four hours, Hank is running over rooftops, playing hide-and-seek with the NYPD, riding the subway with a dead man at his side, and counting a whole lot of cash on a concrete floor. All because of some Russian hoods and a flat-out freakshow of goons. All because once, in another life, the only thing Hank wanted to steal was third base-without getting caught.

Reviews for Caught Stealing

Wow! Brutal, visceral, violent, edgy, and brilliant. --HARLAN COBEN, author of No Second Chance Caught Stealing reads like The Maltese Falcon on crack. Tarantino meets Hitchcock meets Westlake meets Bukowski in a wild, relentlessly entertaining ride filled with vivid and colorful--but always believable--characters. --WALLACE STROBY, author of The Barbed-Wire Kiss It's hard enough for a writer to hit his mark, but Charlie Huston shreds his target with his first bullet fired. A frighteningly assured debut novel. --JOHN RIDLEY, author of Stray Dogs and The Drift From the Hardcover edition.
