A robbery in Scotland might not seem like an unusual background for a crime novel--until it's put into the hands of one of the U.K.'s leading satirists, Christopher Brookmyre. Now available for the first time in the U.S., The Sacred Art of Stealing is narrative catnip for fans of crime fiction laced with dark humor.

This is how the story goes: Their eyes met across a crowded room. She was just a poor servant girl and he was the son of a rich industrialist . . . Well, the eyes meeting across a crowded room part is true. Where it differs from the fairy tales is that the room in question was crowded with hostages and armed bank-robbers, and Zal Innez's eyes were the only part of him that Angelique de Xavia could see behind his mask. Angelique had enough to be fed up about before the embarrassment of being a cop taken hostage by the most bizarrely unorthodox crooks ever to set foot in Glasgow. Disillusioned, disaffected and chronically single, she's starting to take stock of the sacrifices she's made for a job that's given her back nothing but grief. So when her erstwhile captor has the chutzpah to phone her at work and ask her out on a date, Angelique finds herself in no great hurry to turn him in. She knows now that the cops will never love her back, but maybe one of the robbers will.

Stylist and Functional
Color: Copper/Clear Gradient Blue, Lens Width: 51 Millimeters
I couldn’t be happier with these sunglasses. The style is absolutely timeless sleek, modern, and effortlessly cool. They elevate any outfit, whether I’m dressed up for a day out or keeping it casual. What really impressed me is the functionality. The lenses provide excellent UV protection, and the clarity is fantastic even in bright sunlight. They’re lightweight yet feel durable, and I can wear them for hours without any discomfort.
