Book description
The heist went down while the people prayed. An angel walked with
sagging shoulders - he was Parker's inside man, dressed in wings and
robes and destined to be a problem. An hour later, Parker, Liss, and
Mackey were out in the shimmering heat of a stadium parking lot with
four duffel bags full of cash. Then the double cross began. Now the
half-million-dollar robbery of a Christian crusade is drawing a crowd of
cops, crooks, and the evangelist's own unrelenting security man, a tough
ex-Marine who trusts nobody and nothing. What began at a gathering of
the faithful has moved into the realm of night. Here every move has a
countermove, every man is on his own, and every lie leads to the
deadliest moments of truth 'Whatever Stark writes, I read' Elmore
