Synopsis
Friendships can be powerful relationships, particularly if they lead you into a world of crime. Here you will meet Eric Ashton and his best friend Carl Finnegan, two thirty something mid-westerners who grew up to become successful mechanical engineers. Having met during a stint at a General Electric facility, the two left the corporate structure to become independent contractors, where money was plentiful, and nothing about their jobs was nine to five. As proteges and friends, when one secured a corporate contract, he then pulled the other along thus strengthening the bond between the men. All was going well until Carl's drinking and womanizing invaded the personal territory of Eric. Enter Doris Baker - the woman who caught the eye of both men. When Carl enlisted his friend's help in the heist of an armored car service, Eric was opposed, but eventually acquiesced with guilt and prodding from Carl. According to Carl, this was justice. He had been robbed of his father who was killed in a collision with an armored car. This was payback, nothing more. And so, the story begins, as does the deceit. The first heist becomes two heists, one in Chicago, the other in New York City with each case remaining unsolved for more than thirty years. Follow these partners in crime as their lives take on new meaning with profound consequences. Mystery and intrigue await you. Love, romance and family values will tug at your heartstrings. You will undoubtedly walk away wanting more.
