The Unlikely Redemption of the Thief Sydney Bridgewater - Paperback

Sydney Bridgewater has stolen $21 million from five employers over 28 years. She's never been caught, feels no guilt or remorse, but suspects her thievery might soon be uncovered. Through her attorney Quentin the Quintessential, she offers recompense for her misdeeds, then involves two young people who become close friends to accomplish her vague three step redemption path: help herself, help a friend, and help someone not her friend. Sydney's journey takes her through high-tech car thievery in Arizona, building a deep-search computer operation in London, befriending a bar bully in Galway, stolen jewels at Milan Fashion Week, high-stakes poker in Mississippi, a 17th century Old Masters art forgery in Rotterdam, and a widespread UK money laundering scheme. She executes and completes her plan with great drama, then vanishes, never to be heard from again. For those who enjoy strong female leads, who like fast-moving adventures in many locations, and who like stories with continuing surprises and unanticipated outcomes, The Unlikely Redemption of the Thief Sydney Bridgewater is a quick, satisfying read.
