One-hit-wonder novelist C. Scott Fredriksson’s perfect heist plan was in place, but after a gut-dropping first issue reveal, it’s clear the stakes are out of control. Scott’s questionable recruits might have a little something to do with it… When your crew is made up of your childhood best friend and devil-on-your-shoulder Andy; Andy’s impressionable cousin Dusty, the perfect gopher; getaway-driver and walking liability Jake “Balls” Boehls; and Dazzles Deitemeyer, an exotic dancer (between gigs) who’s flexible enough to slide under the lasers they’re sure they’ll encounter – what could possibly go wrong? See where it all goes south as Wisconsin’s worst criminal minds work overtime to plot their escape!

Hangovers, an indifferent muse, a colossal screw-up with the decoy car, and a getaway driver with cold feet… Wisconsin’s ragtag middle-aged D&D party-turned-jewel thieves have every reason to cut their losses and call it quits, but who wants to hear that story? As every good Dungeon Master knows, a successful campaign is all about improvising—and these guys better start thinking fast, because it’s heist day at the Pruhl Mansion! Find out if the crew can execute the new plan, or enjoy the show when it all hits the fan.

Get ready for a genre swap as we move from crime heist to murder mystery! Scott and Andy’s thirty-year-old plans are falling apart along with their friendships. And the diamond heist isn’t going so well either… Burglary devolves into violent fist flying action, and a grim secret comes to light about Brianna Pruhl. Rev those engines as we speed toward the finale in this penultimate issue of Everyone Loves a Jewel Thief!
