Book Three in the Pocket Money trilogy.
You need The Executioners to make the sentence final. If you don’t, they will come again and again and kill you!
They had once been two nice kids from Oklahoma City, Stuart and Elizabeth, then ran afoul of the Cappello crime mob, escaped with their lives and were resettled by the US Marshalls Service in Australia. The Cappello crime syndicate hired an expert hunter, he found them hiding in the vast West Australian outback as Luke and Danny McDonald. Now, they are back, as Heather and Barlow Preston, planning on ending the ongoing nightmare. As Stuart and Elizabeth, they had based their original attacks on the simple philosophy,
if you really want to hurt someone, don’t hit him in the nose, hit him in the pocket!
They had learned that sometimes, the Pocket Money Principle just doesn’t work.
This is the final in the Pocket Money Trilogy. It had to happen. There would never be peace so long as the Cappello’s existed. They had the money from all their illicit operations and the human resources to mount attack after endless attack. The Preston’s are back in America on false passports to put an end to it. It was obvious the Cappello’s would never leave them alone.
It is not enough to just take the Cappello’s money. They had already done that, but the Cappello’s quickly rebuilt. They have to disrupt their operations to the point of failure, then take the Cappello’s down. Permanently. It has to be personal, and it has to be terminal.
The FBI soon learns they are back in America, but are having trouble finding them, despite now knowing their false names. Experience has shown that if Heather and Barlow Preston don’t want to be found, it will be almost impossible to find them. And that scares the shit out of the New York FBI SAC, David Henderson. Luke and Danny, as they were known in Australia, had left a trail of bodies, a bloodbath, over there. He didn’t want that on the streets of New York.
But the Preston’s have thought it out, doing the unexpected, never getting found, taking the fight to the top of the Cappello’s, even stealing the illicit money of the Cappello’s Arabic drug supplying friends, friends who have the ear of important people in the government, friends who then come to capture and kill, using the might and reach of their government to achieve their ends.
Heather’s and Barlow’s lives are now on a knife’s edge. All the skills they have learned will be used; they will not go quietly. They will fight to the very bitter end.
There can only be one winner.
