Some mornings, the universe miscalculates.
Gerald and Meredith Kowalski have a plan. Pills measured. Letters sealed. Spreadsheet complete. Six weeks after losing their son Tommy, they've decided Thursday will be their last morning - and they've approached the end with the same quiet thoroughness they brought to everything else. There is nothing left to derail them.
Then several hundred thousand dollars in stolen cash lands on their satellite dish.
Across town, master criminal Dex Pruitt is watching his meticulously engineered heist dissolve mid-flight as his crew's shouting match rains money across a suburban Ohio neighborhood.
He wants it back. He will absolutely not allow two grieving retirees with a felony windfall and nothing to lose to unravel five years of obsessive planning.
FBI Special Agent Renata SolÃs just keeps finding the wrong criminals.
What follows is a pitch-black spiral of grief, greed, and accidental genius - a story about what happens when the wrong people receive exactly the right second chance. Funny, devastating, and relentlessly human, this is a love story with significantly more felonies than usual.
Some days, even the worst luck saves your life. Start reading today.
