About the Book

From the award-winning author of Savage Country and The Coldest Night, an audacious crime novel about Pig and Skunk, two master thieves from a criminal family who agree to take on one last job: a daring art heist to steal back a stolen painting and return it to its original owners—for a price.

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

"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
