McGivern?s electrifying and complex crime novel brings together two misfits one black and one white with nothing left to lose. When the two team up for a bank robbery they are about to play a sucker bet with their lives.
Earl had nothing no job no car and no money. All he had was a woman who deserved more than he could give. He needed a chance at one last big score.
Ingram had fast hands with a deck of cards a smooth line of talk and a loan shark drooling for the chance to bust him up. He also had a partner Earl who hated him for his black skin.
Together they have one shot at the big time. And when that fails all they have is each other.
