A novel by

 
 
Anonymous white vans ferry cannabis and cash around Albuquerque, NM, serving the medical marijuana industry. Rick Evert and his crew of heist professionals see the courier business as an opportunity. But how do you stop an armored van? How do you crack open its bulletproof glass?

Rick and his guys -- a locksmith, a retired wrestler and a demolition derby driver -- can solve those problems, but they can't account for the human factor. People make mistakes, and this job involves a couple of rookies, including an "inside man." Keeping the newbies out of the hands of the police seems like the most important task, until the robbery victim decides to set a trap of his own.

People don't like getting robbed. Sometimes, victims fight back. Occasionally, you come across someone truly evil, someone willing to kill. What's a professional to do then?
