Frank Cain parks cars for a living and owes twenty-eight thousand dollars to a man who doesn't accept excuses. When Rita Malone slides into his front seat with a plan to rob a private poker game, Frank knows exactly what she is. He says yes anyway.
The job goes wrong in the way that jobs like this go wrong - fast, loud, and permanent. Three men are dead. Nearly a million dollars is in a duffel bag on the back seat. And Johnny Vitale, the most connected man in Las Vegas, has just made a promise in the quiet, certain voice of someone who has never failed to keep one.
What follows is a flight across two continents - from the neon desert to the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, from the boulevards of Buenos Aires to the principality of Monaco - as Frank and Rita learn that the further you run, the more precisely you are being followed. The man hunting them has patience. The contract on their lives has a number that serious professionals find interesting. And the only way out leads through one final job they can never walk back from.
Shallow Graves is crime fiction that is hard, spare, and entirely without sentiment - except for the kind that arrives uninvited, late, when you've stopped expecting it.
