He's the most polite rideshare driver at DFW Airport. His partner is the best thief in Texas. And his partner is a monkey.

Dex Mayfield grew up in a one-ring traveling circus, performing a comedy pickpocket act with his clever little capuchin, Nickel. Then his father died, the show folded, and Dex ended up driving strangers home from the airport for tips and five-star ratings.

But Dex has a secret: a fake subwoofer in his trunk with a tiny room hidden behind it. While passengers chat in the back seat about their vacations, Nickel slips out, cracks the locks on their luggage, and helps himself to diamonds, Rolexes, and gold coins, then zips everything back up before the car reaches the driveway.

Soon a Highland Park socialite is missing her anniversary watch, an Oak Cliff pastor has lost his church's roof fund, and a TikTok influencer with a Yorkie in her purse has millions of followers demanding answers. Airport police blame an innocent baggage handler. And the case lands on the desk of FBI Special Agent Marcus Delaney, whose career is already in the doghouse after he once raided a van full of Methodist church ladies carrying lemon bars.

With his tech-genius partner, a stubborn airport lieutenant, and a seven-year-old who insists the thief is a raccoon, Delaney is running out of time. So is Dex, because his fence is getting dangerous, and one last job could bring the whole act crashing down.

The Rideshare Monkey and the Thief is a big-hearted comedic crime caper set across Dallas–Fort Worth, full of sharp laughs, lovable misfits, stakeouts gone wrong, and one small furry criminal mastermind who would do anything for a green grape.

Buckle up. And keep an eye on your luggage.
