The New York Times bestselling author of Cane and Abe and Black
Horizon blends Goodfellas and Elmore Leonard in this wild,
suspenseful caper inspired by actual events, in which a band of
amateur thieves pulls off one of the biggest airport heists in
history with deadly consequences.Every week, a hundred million
dollars in cash arrives at Miami International Airport, shipped by
German banks to the Federal Reserve. A select group of trusted
workers moves the bags through Customs and loads them into armored
trucks.Ruban Betancourt has always played by the rules. But the
bank taking his house and his restaurant business going bust has
driven him over the edge. He and his wife deserve more than life
has handed them, and he's come up with a ballsy scheme to get it.
With the help of an airport insider, he, his coke-head
brother-in-law, Jeffrey, and two ex-cons surprise the guards
loading the armored trucks and speed off with $7.4 million in the
bed of a pickup truck.Investigating the heist, FBI agent Andie
Henning, newly transferred to Miami from Seattle, knows the best
way to catch the thieves is to follow the money. Jeffrey's drug
addiction is as conspicuous as the Rolex watches he buys for
dancers at the Gold Rush strip club. One of the ex-cons, Pinky
Perez, makes no secret of his plan to own a swinger's club--which
will allow him carte blanche with his patrons' wives. Levelheaded
Ruban is desperately trying to lay low and hold things together.But
Agent Henning isn't the only one on their trail, and in the
mob-meets-Miami fashion, these accidental thieves suddenly find
themselves way in over their heads . . . and sinking fast.
