And Wick lays on the stress as nothing is easy. No longer a thief-for-hire, Michael must now break into a rival Cartel’s safe in order to win his life back. While attempting to pick off an ultra-rare coin he gets bogarted by a kick-ass karate babe who kills his mark and then has Michael set up by a Mexican Cartel. He is a high-class thief who ensures no one, except the insurance companies, gets hurt. Michael Maven might be among the best of what he does. ![]() ![]() Why then is master thief Michael Maven a boring character? Best of all? He has a cool story making Safecracker a fast, fun read.
