Following from his ultra-noir trilogySmall Crimes, Pariah, and Killeris Outsourced, Dave Zeltserman's most commercial book to date.
A classic heist thriller pitched somewhere between Ocean's Eleven and Dog Day Afternoon, it's the story of a group of software engineers who lose their jobs due to an industry push to outsourcing. Desperate, and seeing their middle-class lives crumbling apart, they come up with a brilliant plan to use their computing skills to rob a bank. But not even a systems analyst can foresee every eventuality, so the group falls afoul of the Russian Mafia . . .
Movie rights have been sold for Outsourced, and the film will be produced by the team behind the hugely successful Resident Evil films.
