They’re supposed to be responsible for the theft of over half a billion US dollars worth of luxury goods over the past ten years. One criminologist working in pursuit called them artists of their craft.”
That makes him smile a little, wistful, and he can’t help wondering what it would be like to work with that kind of team. “But they’re not violent. They never have been. No one has ever been killed during one of their jobs.”
