      About This Book

      The new novel from "the electric jolt American crime fiction needs." (Dennis Lehane)

      Four friends take on a risky opportunity to steal a fortune in dirty money. But in this game, any misstep carries lethal consequences-and these four rank amateurs are playing against the most dangerous professionals imaginable.
