Ordell Robbie & Louis Gara

Tuffatevi in una serie crime dove improbabili complici escogitano schemi elaborati, spesso disastrosi, per ottenere denaro facile. Da rapimenti falliti a truffe intricate, questi personaggi navigano in un pericoloso sottobosco pieno di tradimenti e alleanze inaspettate. Le narrazioni sono caratterizzate da arguzia tagliente, ritmo incalzante e una visione cinica ma cupamente umoristica della psiche criminale e delle assurdità del loro mondo.

    Ordell Robbie and Louis Gara have lots in common - time in the same gaol, convictions for auto theft, and a grand plan. They're going to snatch the wife of a Detroit developer and collect some easy ransom money. At least that's what they think...What they haven't figured on is the fact that the husband has a secret mistress and has absolutely no desire to get his wife back. So now it's time for Plan B. With the help of one seriously ticked-off housewife they are going to take the scumbag for everything he's got...

  2. Ordell Robbie makes a fine living selling illegal high-powered weaponry to the wrong people. Jackie Burke couriers Ordell's profits from Freeport to Miami. But the feds are on to Jackie - and now the aging, but still hot, flight attendant will have to do prison time or play ball, which makes her a prime 'loose end' that Ordell needs to tie up ... permanently. Jackie, however, has other plans. And with the help of Max Cherry - an honest but disgruntled bail bondsman looking to get out - she could even end up with a serious nest egg in the process.
