Let's Go Knock Over Seaside

AN ELABORATE CAPER ON THE REDNECK RIVIERA (WITH BUILT-IN LAUGHS!) Easy living on the Gulf Coast holds the promise of easy pickings for Roy and Forest: white sandy beaches, sparkling blue… jewels? Roy is completely charmed by Seaside’s opulence, and Forest, just released from jail, agrees there is more than enough to go around. A wave of possibilities rolls in with a romantic beachside encounter with the lovely Heidi, a very resourceful Dutch au pair--and so much more! She’s only too happy to help the boys fulfill their criminal potential, but they’ll have to stay on their sandy toes to keep up with the mysterious Dutch Treat. Somebody ought to post a sign for these boys: Watch out for soft shoulders and sharp turns! WHO WILL LIKE IT: Fans of noir and elaborate capers, of Elmore Leonard’s particular brand of soft-core lowlife heroes, and of Damon Runyon--with a Southern accent. A special treat for women readers who like female protagonists who aren’t molls, victims, or sociopaths--just diabolically clever Queens of Crime. WARNING! Language! (These guys have not been spending a lot of time in the company of ladies.)
