The directive : a novel
(Book)

The Fords are an old DC family with deep and powerful connections--to petty thieves, to guys who know how to get their hands on specialized weapons, and to forgers who can, for the right price, produce a pristine new passport in twenty-four hours. Mike Ford, youngest member of the clan, is a Harvard-educated lawyer who has worked hard to build a legitimate life for himself in New York, away from his family and their world, complete with a comfortable house and beautiful, wealthy fiancée. But it only takes one desperate phone call from his brother, who's never had the knack for normal life, to drag Mike back, into a heist bigger and more complicated than anything either has ever seen: robbing the bank's bank.
