Nothing's ever gone right for Dennis Malloy. Why would this time be any different? Dennis is smart enough to know right from wrong, although his actions rarely show it.

But his luck seems to change when a bag full of cash lands at his feet after a hold-up he witnesses goes awry.…mehr

Nothing's ever gone right for Dennis Malloy. Why would this time be any different? Dennis is smart enough to know right from wrong, although his actions rarely show it. Now, after spending the past six years in prison, he wants to do the right thing. But life is hard for an ex-con. Especially one who's flat broke and someone's looking to get paid. After blowing what little money he had left on scratch-off lottery tickets, Dennis decides to make a move he knows he'll live to regret. But his luck seems to change when a bag full of cash lands at his feet after a hold-up he witnesses goes awry. His luck doesn't last... Dennis is mugged in the restroom of a local bar, leaving him with nothing but lint in his pockets. Bruised and battered, an attractive woman he meets takes him home for what he hopes will be some late-night fun. But it turns out she has something else in mind. And Dennis knows it's trouble... Presented with an opportunity to make some cash, he has to decide if it'll be worth the risk. If they can pull it off... it'll be the break he's been waiting for. But if they don't? He's guaranteed another five-to-ten in the can. Is one last crime the answer?
Autorenporträt
Gregory has written over twenty-three books, and is the author of four mystery and crime fiction series, including the Henry Walsh Private Investigator series, the US Marshal Charlie Harlow series, the Joe Sheldon crime series, and the new Jake Horn mysteries. His standalone crime novels include Drag the Man Down, Half Cocked, Danny Womack's .38, Biscayne Boogie, and a number of published short stories.He won his first award as a writer at ten years old, after sending a story to the Providence Journal about his pet husky being shot by a local farmer. The writing most likely wasn't very good, but the fact a young boy's dog was shot (true story!) tugged at the editor's heart strings just enough.His dog, luckily, survived.But that wasn't a paid gig, so years later he ended up in advertising. He eventually became a copywriter, specializing in direct mail and writing fundraising letters to help raise money for animals and children.The first book he wrote was nonfiction, but he quickly realized he wasn't smart enough to be giving anyone advice. He finally decided making up lies for a living would be much more fun.Somehow, he became an author.Raised in Providence, Rhode Island, Gregory lives with his wife, kids, and his dog, Jake, in North Carolina.
