Be careful of spoilers because this tale has a fair share of twists and turns. I very much enjoyed the character development and and the twisted plot ( ) All Joe Carver wants to so is be left alone, however, when two girls are asked by hired men working for Manko Kapak if they saw anyone spending large amounts of cash at any of Kapak's clubs, Carver's name comes up. Kapak in interested because he was robbed by a lone gunman when he was making a night deposit. Kapak goes after Carver to get his money back. This does not go well for Kapak as now he's made an enemy of Joe Carver. A good fast paced thriller. Huh. This book really goes nowhere and takes quite a bit of time to do so. The story is basically about robbing a strip club owner a couple of times, by a not very interesting criminal. Said criminal meets some crazy girl and she joins him for future robberies, but she is full blown crazy. Add in a detective who is a polygamist- although why this is a trait of the character is beyond me since it winds up not being an issue, except in part of how the author ends the book. The problem with this book is it isn’t funny it isn’t thrilling, there isn’t any mystery, none of the characters are at all interesting, they are all poorly developed so you have no idea why they behave and act as they do, there are long winded descriptions of events that have no bearing on the story, and worst of all is a barely thought out ending. I don’t know if the author thought maybe this would be a series, but the end of the book is less satisfying than the rest of it. I seriously doubt I would read another book by this author. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Thriller.
An aging but formidable strip club owner, Claudiu "Manco" Kapak, has been robbed by a masked gunman as he placed his cash receipts in a bank's night-deposit box. Enraged, he sends his half-dozen security men out to find a suspect who is spending lots of cash and is new enough to Los Angeles not to know he was robbing a gangster. Their search leads them to Joe Carver, an innocent but hardly defenseless newcomer who evades capture and sets out to make Kapak wish he'd chosen someone else. Meanwhile, the real culprit, Jefferson Davis Falkins, and his new girlfriend, Carrie, seem to believe they've found a whole new profession: robbing Manco Kapak. Lieutenant Nick Slosser, the police detective in charge of the puzzling and increasingly violent case, has his own troubles, including worries about how he's going to afford to send the oldest child of each of his two bigamous marriages to college without making their mothers suspicious. As this odd series of difficulties explodes into a triple killing, Carver finds himself in the middle of a brewing gang war over Kapak's little empire, while Falkins and Carrie journey into territory more strange and violent than either had imagined.
