For an over-the-hill career criminal, the City by the Sea was the last gift of opportunity he'd ever see from New York's most feared Mafia boss. During Gerard Gannon's quest for that one last score, he jumps right into his new, and hopefully last, assignment.

After handpicking a diversified, highly trained crew of thieves, Gannon receives his orders from above: Invade the tranquil tourist spot and completely empty one of its world-renowned mansions. The plan was pure genius!

The Taking of Newport, based solely on fictional characters, locations, and events, travels from the sooty corners of New Jersey to the wind-freshened sights and inner social life of Newport. The scenic atmosphere takes in a taste of Providence's Mafia past, as well as Newport's historical and present-day makeup. Regional characters include the demise and resurrection of Owen Lynch, a local FBI agent, along with the shortcomings of several local police officials. Every ingredient required for a suspenseful eye-opener is thrown in to thicken the plot.

Though the plan was pure genius, Gerard discovers that compatible working relationships are a major hassle even in the dark world of thieves. The Taking of Newport transports the reader into the hearts and minds of actual thieves, as well as their nemesis the law enforcement community.

Attitudes, motives, and reactions of both sides prove hauntingly similar.
