About Thief In The Night:

​

Jimmy de Luca leads a double life. Most people know him as a successful businessman, happily married to his beautiful and sophisticated wife, Olivia. But he also has an ongoing relationship with Pat Funaro, a woman who grew up in the same working-class Brooklyn neighborhood he has tried all his life to leave behind.

For years Jimmy has been supporting Pat and their daughter, Christina, who believes Jimmy is a friend of her deceased father. But then Pat tells Christina the truth. And Christina, who is about to marry her boyfriend, Cliff, wants Jimmy to recognize her as his daughter and walk her down the aisle.

At the same time, Jimmy is dealing with the declining health of his beloved mother and the threats of some thugs who don’t like the way he does business. As life seems to be closing in on him, Jimmy sees he must take responsibility for his actions and face the consequences. But he cannot do right by some people without hurting others he loves as well.
