Book description
Ned Kelly has the perfect job - working for an easy-going boss at his
luxurious mansion by the sun-kissed beach, watching beautiful women walk
by. The perfect girl. Tess - gorgeous, funny, apparently very rich and
crazy for him. The perfect score. Five million up for grabs. And to get
his share, all he needs to do is trigger three house alarms to throw the
cops off the scent of the real robbery. Could things get any better for
Ned? But things don't go according to plan. And when Tess is brutally
murdered and the others involved in the robbery are massacred, Ned is
the prime suspect. With danger at every twist and turn, he's running for
his life. James Patterson is one of the best-known and biggest-selling
