Heists, double crosses, and brutality drive this fast-paced fourth installment of the Wilson Mystery series

An armoured car carrying a huge payday will be rolling through the city every Friday for four weeks. Out of money, Wilson takes up with Ruby, an old partner, for a job that promises a huge score. The only problem: Ruby’s kid, Rick, wants in on the deal. Rick is everything Wilson isn’t but without him there is no job. Wilson signs on with the condition that he runs the job; he plans it, supplies it, and staffs it. The job is a success, but so is the double cross. Wilson loses the money and almost his life. He sets out after his partners and learns that nothing was ever as it seemed – nothing but the blood on the ground. Honour among thieves is bullshit, but Ruby and her son should have known better than to try and play another man’s game.

      A daring robbery leads to plenty of bloodshed in Knowles’s hard-hitting fourth caper featuring the Hamilton, Ont., professional thief and former mob enforcer known only as Wilson (after 2010’s In Plain Sight). When confidence woman Ruby Chu tries to persuade Wilson to help her obviously inept son, Rick, and Rick’s friend and fellow amateur, Franky, pull off an armored car heist, Wilson reluctantly agrees, but only after casing the job and bringing in professional help in the form of tough biker Dave Book. Wilson’s beautifully engineered plan doesn’t account for a double-cross that leaves Dave wounded and Wilson and Dave without their share of the loot. Wilson’s vengeful route to the double-crossers and the money leads through a mob boss, Dave’s biker buddies, and an armed showdown. Wilson can take his place alongside Richard Stark’s Parker as a ruthlessly efficient bad guy with an ingenious ability to escape tricky situations.
