Dru’s Short Musing:
Trying to live on the right side of the law becomes a problem when Chance’s last fare ride seeks his help in doing what he’s been avoiding.

This fast-paced and well-written multi-plot drama quickly became a page turner as I had to know how this story was going to end. Chance learned that his daughter (who he didn’t know he had) and her mother needed his con artist skills to save both their lives. The author did a great job staging this escapade with enough intrigue and suspenseful nature that kept me immersed in the various situations from plotting the con, gathering the people to assist, and setting up their mark. The stakes were high and those little twisty shenanigans with slight-of-hand and double crossing came into play at a frenetic pitch as the story move towards its final act in the con game and wow. Boasting an eclectic cast of characters, engaging dialogue, and a few plot twists, this was a fun and enjoyable read.

Book Synopsis:
Ex-con Chance Winston has been out of prison and on the straight-and-narrow for one thousand days, now making ends meet driving for a ride-sharing company. So, when he picks up a fare who threatens to upend his entire life, he’s a bit skeptical. But a family member is in trouble—serious, kneecapping trouble—and he reluctantly gets sucked back into the family business. Can he and his band of grifters pull off one last job to save the day? Or is Chance the one being scammed? In a family of con artists, where honesty is but a passing fancy, it’s really hard to tell.
