Sinopsis

That rare thriller that will jack your pulse even as it breaks your heart. &mdash,Adam Sternbergh, author of Shovel Ready Rowan Petty is a conman down on his luck. He',s flat broke, living out of cheap hotels, and wondering how it all went wrong. His car quits on him in Reno, and he takes a job there on the bottom rung of a lousy phone scam. When he',s not swindling lonely widows, he tries to turn nickels into dimes at the poker table. One snowy night, he crosses paths with a sweet-talking hooker who',s tired of the streets, and sparks fly.When an old friend of his turns up spreading a rumor about two million dollars in army money smuggled out of Afghanistan and stashed in an apartment in Los Angeles, it seems like a chance at the score of a lifetime. So Petty and the hooker head south, and straight into trouble. A wounded vet, a washed-up actor, and Petty',s estranged daughter are all players in the dangerous game they find themselves caught up in. For the winner: a fortune. For the loser: a bullet to the head.Propulsive, suspenseful, and written with a searing lyricism, The Smack shows once again that Lange is a writer firing on all cylinders who belongs in the top tier of novelists working today (Omaha World-Herald).
