Caught Stealing by Charlie Huston
Charlie Huston’s early aughts thriller has the “wrong place, wrong time” trope. Former baseball player Hank Thompson is now a New York bartender left in charge of his neighbor’s cat when he’s viciously attacked, making it clear he has something someone wants. Problem? He has no clue what it is, nor how to convince all the people after him that they got the wrong guy.
The same-titled film has an August 29th theatrical release date and was written by Huston himself, with Darren Aronofsky directing. The thriller, while totally different in tone from The Thursday Murder Club, also has an impressive list of stars: Austin Butler, Regina King, Zoë Kravitz, Matt Smith, Liev Schreiber, Vincent D’Onofrio, Bad Bunny, and Carol Kane (I was SO excited to see her in an episode of Poker Face).

Bonus book recommendations: The Dime by Kathleen Kent is a procedural, but it’s on the action thriller side, and, most importantly, detective Betty Rhyzyk ends up the target of ruthless criminals and has no idea why.
