Read a sample Read a sample
Two aging rock stars plot against the manager who ripped them off in this witty thriller by “Canada’s answer to Elmore Leonard” (Toronto Star).
 
The High, a band with a few hit songs back in the late 1970s, have reunited to play the nostalgia circuit at casinos. But for bassist Barry and lead singer Cliff, this tour will be more lucrative than it appears, as they team up to turn the tables on the gritty underworld of these gambling palaces—robbing the loan sharks and drug dealers who work at every stop of the tour.
 
After coming across their old manager, who had swindled millions from them years ago, Barry and Cliff decide to go for the big score and get it all back—and more. But when a notoriously dangerous motorcycle gang gets involved, all bets are off.
 
“Things start accelerating from the opening line, which sets the tone [and] engages interest perfectly . . . McFetridge is able to convincingly portray flawed figures on both sides of the law.” —Publishers Weekly
