The Albatross 3rd & Main

di Simon David Eden (Autore)

Samuel French Ltd, 2016

Gene Lacy, a former lobster boat fisherman and proprietor of Lacy's General Store, is down on his luck big time: he's ducking creditors, huge gambling debts, and an ex-wife with very expensive tastes. So when Spider walks into his store with a golden lottery ticket in the shape of a rare and valuable dead bird, Gene has a choice to make. He has the connections to help Spider turn his windfall into greenbacks, but there's one tiny problem, as Gene's right-hand man - an ex-boxer named Lullaby - is well aware: it's a felony offence to even be in possession of the bird. As the metaphorical noose tightens, and the threat of a lengthy stretch behind bars hangs over them, so the friendships unravel with a potentially deadly and deadly funny outcome: if there's honour amongst thieves, somebody forgot to tell these guys.
