First-rate, violent, gritty “country noir” crime thriller with an explosive third act. Perfect for a raw winter weekend in front of the fire, glass of rye whiskey within easy reach.

Fast & The Furious meets Steel Magnolias.
that's the tagline I would use if this was being made into a movie and I was the tagline man. It's one of those books where everything is just right, the prose reminds me a little of John Connolly, you get just the right amount of detail to put you right in the middle of everything, to make the connection with the characters and feel the same emotions.
Cars and guns and heists are really not my thing, so the fact I love this book is even more extraordinary. I would give an extra star if I could for the use of the word Lackadaisical in a tense life threatening situation.

4 stars which is very high praise on my scale. This S.A. Cosby guy can write! Makes you see the car chases and the dialogue is unique, real and well-voiced. Definitely enjoyed this one and hope the movie is just as good as the book.
