About this audiobook
Gerald Kowalski has a tumor and a prognosis measured in weeks. His wife Meredith has never met a problem she couldn't manage with a list, so together they settle on a date, a time and a quiet way out: Friday morning, nine-fourteen.
At six fifty-one that Friday, a bank robbery's getaway helicopter drops its cargo net over their street. One bag comes through the garage roof. Inside: $565,000.
Now the schedule has a new line item. A crew boss who priced every risk except the one that failed. A crew member sharp enough to find the house first. An FBI agent certain the numbers don't lie, even when everyone around them does.
Gerald buys a suit and a night at a casino, and discovers he is very good at craps. Meredith writes rules faster than anyone can break them. His daughter, a lawyer he hasn't spoken to in four years, drives down to ask why her father suddenly needs one.
Nobody here is bad enough to deserve what's coming. Nobody is good enough to dodge it either.
