About the Book
Meet Skunk: officially, he works as a cow-hoof trimmer, traveling from farm to farm tending to livestock. But when the mood strikes, he’s a skilled burglar, wisecracking and fearless, with a specialty in recovering the illegal plunders of war. He loves thick novels, expensive cigars, and Pig.
Meet Pig: she’s a tech savant without equal, capable of tracking her quarry anywhere on the grid or off. A criminal mastermind with an iron-clad moral compass, she only steals in the name of justice. She loves dogs, crème brûlée, and Skunk.
They’re a perfect pair, partners in crime and in life, and their abilities are unparalleled. Then Skunk’s estranged father, Nick, shows up with a sob story and a hot tip on a fabulously valuable stolen Rembrandt. Despite their better instincts, Pig and Skunk agree to team up with Nick for one last job. But retrieving the painting from the wealthy private collector who keeps it in a gun-protected bunker in a remote forest compound will take every skill the trio possess—and push their family to the breaking point.

Praise for PIG AND SKUNK
"Robert Olmstead is a brilliant writer who I've long admired, both for his wry lyrical proseand for his knack for suspense. He knows how to keep a reader turning pages. I didn't wantPIG & SKUNK to end. If it was a TV series I would binge-watch it until I was dead."
—Dan Chaon, author of One of Us
"Tender yet firing at high velocity. The novel sparks moral questions about whether the rich will always steal from the poor, racism in America, and the rapid pace of technological advancement over the decades."
—Anna Barrington, author of The Spectacle
“Robert Olmstead’s Pig and Skunk is a heady heist novel with a heart. You'll be glad you joined this oddball family of career crooks on their last job to rob a former Nazi collaborator of his Rembrandt. Fans of Robert Stone and Rachel Kushner will be especially thrilled by this one. Wry and scathing, masterfully crafted, with exceptional dialogue throughout, the latest from Olmstead is a gem.”
—Alexander Sammartino, author of Last Acts and Gallo
