Robin Greaves is an armed robber whose professionalism is put to the test when he discovers his wife has been sleeping with a fellow gang member. Greaves plans the ultimate revenge, but things go from bad to worse when the gang bungles a post office robbery, leaving carnage in their wake. Suddenly they are stalked by the police, sleazy private eyes and a cold-blooded killer who may be the only one not looking for a cut of the money. Allan Guthrie is one of crime fiction’s toughest new writers, with an outstanding ear for dialogue, a sharp sense of humour and a breathless pace. Get gripped.
