Publisher Description
From a true modern master of noir fiction comes a twisty new tale about two small town crooks who get in over their heads . . .
Peck and Al have a good thing going. The two brothers own a bar and a hardware store and make a comfortable living. They also launder money for a criminal organization. Everything is perfectly fine until Peck begins to suspect that his brother is going to betray him to the local District Attorney. Things get even more complicated between them when Al’s hard drive with millions of dollars in Crypto goes missing – Peck was the only other person with access.
What starts out as a family squabble turns into an international battle between competing crime organizations, moving from small town New England to San Francisco to Mexico. Along the way the brothers encounter betrayal, double-dealing, kidnapping, and ultimately, revenge.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Two siblings face a fierce test of loyalty in Galloway's atmospheric latest (after Just Thieves). In the years since half brothers Al and Peck lost their wives—Al's to cancer, Peck's to divorce—they've come to lean heavily on each other. They run a hardware store and a bar together, and take weekly drives from their rural town to drop off cash they've laundered for a criminal organization in a nearby city. Their bond gets strained after Al's hard drive, which holds a cryptocurrency fortune, goes missing (Peck was the only other person who had access to it). When a police search and seizure disrupts the journey to their weekly drop-off, their doubts deepen. As more bizarre roadblocks crop up, the brothers begin to question not only each other's reliability, but also who within their organization might be targeting them. Desperate to escape his criminal entanglements, Al enlists his con-man father to help fabricate a looming threat from a rival cartel, with tragic results. Deliberate pacing and a stirring emotional center bolster Galloway's engrossing tale of lifelong relationships being tested in a crucible of grief and anxiety. It's a grimly satisfying neo-noir.
