First published 1988
The crew pulls off another clean armored car job on the Massachusetts highways, but success breeds suspicion. When the robberies escalate to murder, the tight bonds between the thieves begin to fracture. Each man starts watching his back, wondering who might sell him out for a lighter sentence or a bigger cut. The police close in while the criminals eye each other with growing mistrust. Former partners become potential threats as loyalty crumbles under pressure. What started as professional thievery transforms into a survival game where betrayal becomes the only currency that matters. In this world of shifting allegiances, the greatest danger comes not from law enforcement but from the person standing next to you.
