“Simply tremendous! Tom Kakonis’s writing is on a level with Elmore Leonard.†Chicago Tribune
CRISS CROSS
It’s a bone-chilling winter in Grand Rapids. Ex-cop Mitch Morse is stuck in a dreary, dead-end job at a discount store so he can’t resist when a smoldering, sexy cashier Starla Hudek asks him to join a gang of down-to-their-last-chance killers and criminals ready to do whatever it takes to pull off the score of a lifetime on Christmas Eve.
“Stylishly flamboyant…Kakonis has honed his skills at locking violent characters into harrowing, if often hilarious, straits.†– New York Times
It begins as an audacious armored car heist…but then things go ho-ho-horribly wrong, and the lust, greed, and scheming spirals out of control, the criss-crossing loyalties and betrayals tightening like a noose around Mitch’s neck.
“Tom Kakonis, a poet of raunch, brings to life the misfits and desperate dreamers who inhabit the shadowy side of a ‘vanilla milkshake town’…Deft plotting, in-depth characterization and devilish humor add up to a riveting read.†– Publisher’s Weekly.
