Mickey Outside Description
Former Wall Street whiz and current convict Mickey Steinberg is nearing the end of his three-year sentence at Yankton—the cushy country club prison where he’s enjoyed celebrity status—and he’s ready to get out and get back on top. He doesn’t have the resources he once did, but he’s already hatched a new plan to sell a forgery of a stolen Van Gogh painting through the shady underground art market. He and his new partner, the smooth-talking Paul Reece, have a mark in mind: the sleazy con-man art dealer who swooped in on Mickey’s beloved ex-wife after he was locked up. But with his old partner, Jack Grass, hell-bent on revenge and his pre-prison life closed to him, it won’t be easy.
As their plan becomes ever more complex, Mickey realizes he just wants to make good and make it out alive. A madcap heist with a shrewd insider’s eye on the high-rollers and lowlifes that run New York City—a place where no man is too big to fail.

I won't include any spoilers in this review. This is the first book I've read by Lender, and definitely won't be my last. The book starts off a bit slow, but does a good job of introducing each of the characters. There's a pretty large number of people to keep track of, but the author manages to give them all their own attitude and demeanor. The book is about a con from Wall Street, who gets out of jail and needs to find another line of work to sustain his lifestyle in New York City. The story includes loyalty, revenge, betrayal, and many other attributes to make for an exciting story throughout the book. There are a lot of plot twists, keeping you wondering what will happen next. The book is based in the present, so there are references to currently wealthy people, current technology, etc. I'm excited to read more of Lender's works and hopefully get to learn his style and techniques a bit more.

This is my second book from David Lender that I have read (first being Arab Summer).
Mickey Outside is a quick and easy read. David Lender gets to the point in his stories and doesn't waste time with a lot of fluff. It only took me a couple times of sitting down with the book before I was turning the last page.
I even recommended my wife to read the book since she is more familiar with NYC than I am.
Overall an entertaining and quick to read 4 star thriller.
Read by Ralph Wessel (88 years young and going strong) and submitted by his son.
