## Spoiler-free reading guide

A robbery story begins with a practical question: can the crew take the prize and escape? The Devil’s Stones adds another: what if taking the prize is what puts them in danger?

The published synopsis follows a crew pursuing diamonds on what they intend to be their final bank job. A curse and human pursuers put pressure on more than an escape plan. Approach this as a crime thriller with supernatural stakes. Greed, loyalty and consequences are useful questions to keep in mind.

If you enjoy a criminal plan colliding with a danger the characters underestimate, this premise may be a fit. If you prefer entirely realistic crime fiction, the supernatural element is worth knowing in advance. Read a retailer sample before choosing your edition.

This is promotional editorial from Bright Margin Books based on the published synopsis, not an independent review.
