A Broadway stagehand and an aspiring actress lead double lives in this absurd comedy of masked mayhem and mistaken identity.

Would-be actress Cassandra never meant to be a thief. But after a near-death scare on the subway—and a timely rescue by a stranger—she reinvents herself as the Cat Burglar, determined to even the score with the city's fat cats.

Timid stagehand Wilfredo always dreamed of being the hero, but he is blindsided when a viral video of his run-in with a masked thief turns him into the city's accidental champion.

By day, Wilfredo and Cassandra work on the same Broadway show. By night, they chase each other through the city in a headline-grabbing duel between a masked thief and a self-invented hero. It never occurs to Wilfredo that his nemesis might be sitting right under his nose.

Meanwhile, NYPD detectives blunder after both vigilantes, Cassandra's jealous ex turns amateur sleuth, and a movie star diva plots revenge on her spotlight-stealing understudy. When disaster strikes on opening night, Wilfredo and Cassandra are thrust together as the show's romantic leads—just as their costumed alter egos square up for a final showdown. Masks slip, sparks fly, and their New York dreams hang in the balance.

"Foxman and the Cat Burglar has such good vibes that even the villains come off as at least somewhat sympathetic. It takes both work and skills to tell a story that's seemingly so effortless and light. With this novel, the author proves he possesses those skills. . . . A charming romantic comedy of errors. With its likable protagonists caught in a series of ever-escalating comedic mishaps, this breezy novel is a perfect beach read."—IndieReader
