The Theft is a quiet crime novella about two cousins whose carefully controlled partnership begins to fracture under pressure.
After a meticulously planned art theft, patience gives way to urgency, discipline erodes, and one man's inability to wait sets events in motion that cannot be undone. As law enforcement searches for clues and time stretches consequences thin, the surviving partner is left to decide not how to escape, but when to stop.
Told with restraint and moral clarity, The Theft explores the cost of waiting, the illusion of luck, and the moment when silence becomes more valuable than money.
