Description
A rollicking tale of the 1970s Detroit criminal underworld from legendary crime writer Elmore Leonard
To get ahead in armed robbery, you just need to find the perfect business partner…
When auto thief Stick steals a maroon ’73 Camaro from Frank’s used car lot, Frank spies an unexpected opportunity. He ‘suggests’ they combine forces, and soon they’re embarking on a crime spree across Detroit, holding up liquor stores and supermarkets and causing mayhem wherever they go. As long as they keep sticking to their Ten Golden Rules for Successful Armed Robbery, the cash keeps rolling in. But what happens when you start bending your own rules?
