When it comes to pulling off the perfect bank job, the charming and amoral Doc McCoy wrote the book. He's been in jail for four years and he's got no intention of going back. But with a partner like Rudy Torrento, who is not only treacherous but insane, and a wife who is still an amateur, McCoy has a few problems.

What follows is a breathless and electrifying chase across 1950s America, fuelled by desperation, double-crossing and greed. But what Doc doesn't realise is that when the cops start closing in he could end up trapped in a nightmare far worse than prison... he should never have forgotten: when the crime is big and bloody enough, there is no such thing as a clean getaway.
