What is your whole life worth, to the nearest dollar? A bag of cash. No owner. Do you take it? Emily Scott was the first girl Chloe Medina ever kissed. Back before she was ready to talk about that kind of thing. Now, two decades later, Chloe is a bounty hunter in Arizona, and a local crime boss hires her track down a criminal who has stolen a bag of cash. The fugitive's name? Emily Scott. Emily Scott is a stand-up comedian and one-time bank robber who came into possession of forbidden knowledge that could get her killed. She knows the identity of Big Wheel, an elusive and semi-mythic criminal kingpin who runs the state. When presented with a chance to run away with a bag full of cash, she didn't hesitate. But now out on the road she's stuck between two worlds. After spending twenty years getting good at one thing, and building her identity around it, can she abandon all that work and become someone new? And what happens when she finds out Chloe Medina is on her tail, the hot girl who broke her nose at high school after one kiss? Chloe isn't the only person chasing Scott down. Deputy U.S. Marshal Treat Tyler is on the case. Scott had been in Tyler's custody when she escaped, and his reputation is on the line. What self-respecting lawman lets a comedian get away? Tyler has another personal stake in the story. He used to work with Medina, back when she was a Marshal. They were rivals. They had identical test scores and identical success rates. Tyler enjoys wearing the badge just as much as Medina did. He's obsessed with being the cowboy, and despite the years between, can't stop wondering if Medina may have been just a bit better at it. Whenever their paths cross, he finds a way to bring the conversation round to the idea of a contest-to settle the issue once and for all. Medina always declines. She has nothing to prove. But Tyler does, and finding out that Medina is tracking the same fugitive? Game on. Again. And, of course, Tyler is hiding his own secrets about Big Wheel. Can Medina get to Emily before Tyler? And before Big Wheel? And if she does...do they need to talk about that kiss? "Compelling and unexpected with layered characters, crisp and clever dialogue, and inventive twists. Stringer has created a highly entertaining novel with an unforeseen sense of justice." - Kendra Elliot. "Reads like Elmore Leonard and Joe R. Lansdale got together to tell the worlds greatest road story. Packed full of wildly wonderful characters and dialogue that whips like hairpin turns from hilarious to heartbreaking." - Josh Stallings.
