Pancardi's Pride

the long version

Pancardi's Pride is a crime thriller with more ups and downs and twists and turns than a roller-coaster ride. Hold on to your seat, your emotions and your stomach, because this will have you guessing and gasping right through to the very last turn.Out of the darkness and through the rat-infested sewers of Florence; under the ancient treasure houses of the Palazzo Pitti and into one of the strongest bank vaults in the world; the best cracksmen in the business are on the take. They have done the research, analysed the problems and now they are ready to make the biggest score of the century. But hidden inside the vault is something history has forgotten, a myth, a legend; only this is no fairy tale, this is for real - a dream come true. All they have to do now is get away clean.The score is every safe-crackers dream, the big "A" number one, the last job before retiring into luxurious obscurity - only this dream is about to become a full blown nightmare of insatiable greed...
