Alkies & Angels

Fort Lauderdale, two years ago

“Casper” was the most brilliant -- and elusive -- thief in recent memory.
A top-notch hacker combined with the skills of a world-class climber, Casper made millions scaling Fort Lauderdale’s high rise condos like a web-slinging cartoon hero, relieving insurance scammers and ponzi schemers of their ill-gotten funds.
Detective Albert “Alkie” Stone was in line with about fifty federal agents trying to track him down. Alkie was close. He could feel it.
Fresh out of a divorce and tracking his most cunning adversary ever, the last thing he needed was a distraction. Then Sarah Harrington drifted into his life on a warm ocean breeze.
Beautiful, vivacious and no-maintenance, she was the woman he’d been waiting his whole life for.
Sarah was his love. Casper was his obsession.
Alkie would soon discover they were the same person.

Present Day

The Moonlight Massacre. Slaughter by the Sea. Bloodbath on the Beach.
Whatever the newsies were calling it, nine people are dead, eighty kilos and a suitcase full of cash are missing, and each piece of evidence Alkie digs up seems to be pointing right back at him. Alkie was being set up, and when you can't trust the good guys, you only have one option:
Marvin 'Moondog' Harris. Alkie’s guardian angel. Ex Special Ops badass turned con man with a conscience. If Moondog has your back, your enemies better have a damn good plan.
And Sarah. Alkie put her away, but couldn’t put her out of his mind. Now he needs her help.
The three form an uneasy alliance, each with their own motive:
Alkie wants the truth.
Moondog wants the money.
Sarah wants payback for two years in the joint.
