Before Abby Maxon became a private investigator, she was a victim of crime.
When campus security shows no interest in finding the man who stole her purse, college student Abby Maxon embarks on her first unofficial investigation. But tracking down the thief who's made the campus his hunting ground is dangerous business, especially for an amateur sleuth who's on the trail of someone far more dangerous than she realizes.
SPECIAL BONUS MATERIAL: This edition of THIEF includes an excerpt from the Abby Maxon mystery novel PRETTY LITTLE HORSES.
