Description
"A fast-paced thriller... the story moves at warp speed, followed by a cinematic chase scene."
- The Boston Globe
Book #1 in the Stolen Millions series.
Smoke Dugan is on the run.
A bomb-maker by profession, he dropped out of sight because of a misunderstanding with his employers about an airplane crash and $2.5 million in cash. Unfortunately, they've found out where Smoke's living - a picturesque seaside city in Maine. And Denny Cruz, a high paid assassin, is on his way from New York to collect him.
Smoke's girlfriend Lola Bell is unaware of his past. Sexy, smart and tough, Lola's a weed that grew up through the cracks in an inner city housing project. Her big eyes belie her secret weapon: she's spent a decade studying the martial arts. The tattoo on her shoulder reads, Girls Kick Ass. When Cruz decides to use Lola to get to Smoke, he has no idea what he's taking on.
A time bomb is ticking as Smoke, Lola, Cruz and anyone unlucky enough to come into their orbit are caught up in a drama of abduction, car chases and triple bluff where escape or violent death look like the only options. But nothing turns out quite as anyone might expect...
Fast-paced and edgy, SMOKED has received worldwide critical acclaim. It introduces a cast of characters worthy of Tarantino in their sophistication and resourcefulness, in a stylish thriller which marked the debut of a stunning new talent.

-- Entertainment Weekly
