Summary: Who would have thought?
Review: Nathan Littlejohn is always coming up with get-rich-quick schemes. One day he hits on a marvelous idea: he will rob the local big boy's crack houses and run to Las Vegas to enjoy his ill-gotten gains. He knows that the penalty for failure will be torture and then death so he is extra careful. Unfortunately, he isn't aware of the many tentacles that the mob leader possesses. Neither does he count on his mistress and his main lady getting together on his cheating ways, ultimately throwing his scheme into disarray.

Honest businessman Frank Collazo, pays his protection money to the mob so that he can maintain his successful pizza parlors. In spite of his efforts to stay on the good side of the mob boss, "Greektown Johnny," he is suspected of helping Nathan Littlejohn and his brother Hank, commit the robbery.

Can this common street hustler and businessman get together, forget their differences and fight the mob?

Graham has written an interesting mystery that keeps you guessing exactly who did what right up until the final page. It is indeed a page-turner in spite of Mr. Graham's disconcerting habit of switching of tenses in the middle of paragraphs.
