Synopsis
Double Take tells how to rob Heathrow Airport and get away with it.
An 'Italian Job' for the 21st century, with swearing in several languages - some of it translated - chillis as offensive weapons, but no Minis.
Double Take deconstructs one of Agatha Christie's most audacious plots.

Reviews
Readers get two books in one with British author Mike Ripley's Double Take, which includes the first stand-alone novel by the creator of the Angel series and a screenplay adaptation. A heist at Heathrow Airport, inspired by an Agatha Christie plot, provides plenty of fast-paced thrills with a comic edge.

When a well-orchestrated drug bust by London police near Heathrow nets a truck-load of drugs but no dealers, Chief Inspector McEvoy uses carefully placed disinformation to lure them to a local, rundown police station. As police wait for the motley crew of ethnically and mentally diverse crooks to arrive, confederates of their targets inundate the station with bogus crime victims. Picturesque humor and witty one-liners punctuate the narrative, even when thoughts turn to theft of another type of drug. With quirky characters, off-the-wall tone, and unpredictable plot; recommended.
