Synopsis: &“Fans of Donald Westlake and Elmore Leonard will enjoy this bright caper novel&” by the USA Today–bestselling author of the Murder She Wrote series (Publishers Weekly). Engineer Carlton Smythe feels bored in his marriage—and once he meets a mysterious woman in a bar during a trip to Buenos Aires, he becomes desperate to find the funds he needs to run off with her and start a whole new life far from his native Canada. That&’s when he comes up with an audacious moneymaking scheme that draws on his professional expertise. What would certain parties pay for advance knowledge of a massive US power outage? But to pull it off, he will need to do business with some wholly undesirable criminal elements—and that&’s when things start to spin wildly out of control . . . &“A wonderful read.&” —Michael Palmer, New York Times–bestselling author
