Adrift in a sleepy coastal Massachusetts town, a man who ferries fugitives by day gets twisted up in a plot to pilfer diamonds in this Casablanca -infused heist novel.
Infusing a fast-paced plot with sharp wit and stylish prose, CrimeReads editor-in-chief Dwyer Murphy serves up an irresistible page-turner as full of heart as it is of drama..
Elena, after all, doesn\'t go anywhere without a scheme in mind, and it isn\'t long before Jack finds himself enmeshed in her latest project: intercepting millions of dollars\' worth of raw diamonds before they\'re shipped overseas.
But when Elena, Jack\'s former flame--a dedicated hustler who\'s no stranger to the fugitive life--makes an unexpected return to town, her arrival upends Jack\'s routine existence.
The family business--co-managed with his father, a retired spy--is smooth sailing, as they fill up Onset\'s holiday homes during the town\'s long, drowsy off-season and help clients shed their identities in preparation for fresh starts.
Jack might be a polished, Harvard-educated lawyer on paper, but everyone in the down-at-the-heels, if picturesque, village of Onset, Massachusetts, knows his real job: moving people on the run from powerful enemies.
