Thief is a fast paced well written knife edge thriller. Robin Monarch is a great character you can’t help but get on-side with. Filled with twists and turns, double-crossing and decade harboured grudges. The book takes you deep into the Amazon and introduces you so magically into the rituals and secrets of a hidden tribe. 

The secret the tribe hold is wanted by two rich unethical businessmen, they take something the thief loves more than life, forcing him to steal the secret from the tribe.

Monarch’s resolve, his fight to free the woman who saved him when he was a young boy drives him to the edges of right and wrong within a spectacular read.

Nicky Cooper Brown came late to this game we call writing. Growing up, up North, she was always praised for her talents with her hands, rather than her mind, she harboured an artistic flair often drawing and painting into the night. It wasn't until she moved south to the Beautiful picturesque New Forest that she took pen to paper so to speak. Now Nicky enjoys writing short stories and articles and has a funny and light hearted style, but when it comes to her novels she displays a darker side and a taste for psychological thrillers.
