Overview
Used-car salesman Gary Braswell just made the two biggest mistakes of his life.
He trusted the the Russian mafia. Then he tried to cheat them.
The country swelters in record-breaking temperatures, and Gary's hot under the collar. With his sales career at rock-bottom, he's up to his neck in debt to loan shark Jocko Mackenzie. If the loan's not repaid, there's more than Gary's kneecaps at stake - his long-suffering wife is also in peril.
Desperate, Gary turns to a charismatic client for help, and he's soon embroiled in the murky world of money laundering. With the federal police sniffing around and Jocko on his tail, Gary concocts an audacious scam. Success means money - lots of it. Failure means certain death. Can Gary pull off the impossible?
Dodgy entrepreneurs, nouveau riche Russian émigrés, corrupt federal cops and femme fatales, SOLD’s characters jump off the page.
