Elizabeth Foster and Stuart Whelan are on the run. From the US Marshals, the FBI, and a New York crime syndicate, the Cappello’s. The Marshals and the FBI want them alive. The syndicate only wants them alive for a short while, just until they learn what they did with their money. It wasn’t always like this, but it sure is now. They have been running for months. . .

It all started simply enough. Stuart blew his bike’s engine up.

The cost of the repair was crippling, so he buys a second-hand bike, cheap, advertised with a new engine job from Mottram Motors. It blows up a week later, and he learns the engine job was just a botch-up to sell the bike. Mick Mottram refuses to honor the warranty and Stuart quickly learns it’s the way Mick Mottram always does business.

He and Liz decide to take Mick Mottram down. Stuart gets caught as he tries to get photographs of Mottram’s illegal dealings and gets beaten senseless by Mottram, then arrested, while Liz cracks Mottram computers and discovers a vast criminal conspiracy. It scares her, but her plan is simple.

The Pocket Money Principle:-

If you really want to hurt someone, don’t punch them in the face, punch them in the pocket!

With Stuart in hospital under Police guard, she travels to Switzerland, opens a Swiss bank account, then logs into the criminal’s computer network and steals their money, returning home to OK City. She goes to the FBI with the criminal’s details and they get Stuart released. Stuart and Liz do not reveal they have taken the criminal’s money, knowing they might need it, hiding together in an FBI safe house as the FBI conducts raids on the criminal gang.

But the criminals have worked it out. They know who Liz and Stuart are and what follows is a terror-filled hair-raising escapade when it becomes clear the US Marshals cannot protect them from the money and the power of the criminals.

They run, chased by the Marshals, the FBI and the Cappello’s thugs. The thugs are catching up quicker than the rest. It’s going to get nasty. . .
