Road Dogs

by Elmore Leonard

First published 2009

Jack Foley walks out of prison with one thing on his mind: money. His extremely wealthy friend Cundo Rey has more cash than he knows what to do with, and Foley wants a piece of it. The plan seems simple enough. Team up with Dawn Navarro, who happens to be Cundo's common-law wife, and figure out how to separate the man from his fortune. Dawn knows where the money is and how to get to it. Foley knows how to pull off a score. But friendship and loyalty become complicated when serious cash enters the picture. Cundo trusts both of them completely, which makes the betrayal that much easier to execute. The question becomes whether Foley and Dawn can trust each other long enough to pull off the heist, or if greed will tear apart their partnership before they can get their hands on Cundo's wealth.
