Ghostman
– Book Synopsis Via Amazon
When
a casino robbery in Atlantic City goes horribly awry, the man who orchestrated
it is obliged to call in a favor from someone who’s occasionally called Jack.
While it’s doubtful that anyone knows his actual name or anything at all about
his true identity, or even if he’s still alive, he’s in his mid-thirties and
lives completely off the grid, a criminal’s criminal who does entirely as he
pleases and is almost impossible to get in touch with. But within hours a
private jet is flying this exceptionally experienced fixer and cleaner-upper
from Seattle to New Jersey and right into a spectacular mess: one heister dead
in the parking lot, another winged but on the run, the shooter a complete
mystery, the $1.2 million in freshly printed bills god knows where and the FBI
already waiting for Jack at the airport, to be joined shortly by other
extremely interested and elusive parties. He has only forty-eight hours until
the twice-stolen cash literally explodes, taking with it the wider, byzantine
ambitions behind the theft. To contend with all this will require every gram of
his skill, ingenuity and self-protective instincts, especially when offense and
defense soon become meaningless terms. And as he maneuvers these exceedingly
slippery slopes, he relives the botched bank robbery in Kuala Lumpur five years
earlier that has now landed him this unwanted new assignment.
