4.5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 stars!  Digit, Maria and Preach are hustlers trying to make some money.  Maria lures a Russian mobster (who she didn’t know was a monster) to a hotel room and he was he was hoping to have a good time with her.  When the mobster realizes it is a set-up, a fight ensues and they wind up killing him.  They look through his bag and see a bunch of money that they want to keep, but the people that the cash belongs to are in pursuit of trying to find the three of them and kill them. We also learn more of their backstory and why they are in the position that they’re in. 

This book read like a movie and I was here for all of it!  There was sadness, seriousness and humor throughout this story and the narrators were fantastic!  I definitely recommend.
