      Mit 2 Millionen Dollar Beute in der Hinterhand und seinem fünfjährigen Sohn auf dem Beifahrersitz will Mohammed, alias Manny Williams, eine Zeit lang im idyllischen Maine untertauchen. Die großen Augen des kleinen Nicky helfen Mo, freundschaftliche Beziehungen zur Landbevölkerung anzuknüpfen, und die Sehnsucht, Wurzeln zu schlagen, keimt in ihm auf. Doch der Start in ein neues Leben ist schwierig, wenn die New Yorker Polizei und ein paar der dunkelsten Gestalten Brooklyns hinter einem her sind.

      SHOOTING DOCTOR JACK is a stylish and powerful novel that combines the elegant economy of Elmore Leonard with the narrative fireworks of Richard Price. Now in mass market for the first time! This is the story of three men. There's Fat Tommy Roselli, also known as Tommy Bagadonuts, whose flamboyant style and open heart belie his sharp eye for a quick deal. Then there's Stoney, Fat Tommy's partner in a shady junk–yard business on Troutman Street, whose cynicism and brutality almost save him from his alcoholism. Finally there's Tuco, their young, street–smart apprentice, whose bravado and cunning hide his innocence, his insecurity and his desperate desire to belong. Three men on an inevitable collision course with violence, on "a one–way street that runs from nowhere to nowhere. A street of failures. Fall through the cracks of a better or kinder world, and you find yourself on Troutman Street." Three men in search of redemption and for each of them, there seems to be only one way out.
