Description
When suburban couple Carmen and Wayne Colson inadvertently disrupt an extortion scheme, their quiet life becomes the target of two dangerous criminals. As the calculating Armand “Blackbird” Degas and volatile Richie Nix pursue them, the Colsons are forced into a desperate struggle for survival. Set against the stark landscape of Missouri, this taut crime thriller explores fear, vengeance, marriage, and the unpredictable courage of ordinary people under pressure. With sharp dialogue, dark humor, and lean, suspenseful prose, it showcases Elmore Leonard’s distinctive command of the genre.
