When Crane's perfectly plotted plan fails and a bank guard is shot, Crane receives a 25-years-to-life sentence instead of turning in his accomplices. Ten years into his sentence, Crane is approached by a corrupt prison warden who offers him a job he cannot refuse.

If Crane can recover a package that is under heavy guard in a luxury building, he will be a free man. A free man with no prison record and no probation time to serve.

Crane is soon released, given start up money and a short time to accomplish this heist. He quickly calls together his old crew, the crew he refused to turn in when he went to jail.

Not all of the crew is happy to hear from Crane, but Duffy, his main man, is still loyal. Duffy is a fast talking pimp and drug dealer who has hooked up with a beautiful blond prostitute named Trixie. To Crane, the white girl just means trouble, but he soon finds himself pulled into her web.

This was a fast paced book with many gritty scenes set in Los Angles. The language was very rough at times and there were several explicit sex scenes. This was not turn-off for me as I am not easily offended, and in most cases the language and sex fit well within the scenes.
