Produktbeschreibung

Insurance Adjustor George Arrant of Elsmere, Delaware is at odds with the world

George is suffering a mental breakdown. The pressures of economic failure in an economy benefitting only the rich have culminated in the foreclosure and seizure of his home, which George's wife and two children know nothing about. He's been keeping his firing and mounting destitution a secret from his family to avoid worrying them.

Hours before the police, the bank representative, and the moving men are to arrive, he unlocks his gun cabinet, takes a shotgun and blasts his wife and children into eternity. He believes he's saving them from the humiliation and brutality of poverty in America. After the ensuing failed suicide attempt, George wanders in a fugue state to Wilmington, where he encounters Rich Simony, the young VP of his foreclosing bank. George murders Rich for his credit cards, bank accounts and his Cadillac Escalade. George flees Delaware for Providence, Rhode Island's Crimetown seat of the New England La Cosa Nostra.

George takes up with lead NECLN crime boss, Sallie "Jumbo" Palumbo. With Jumbo's help, he assembles a crew and starts robbing banks across the country, all to one purpose:

Takedown of the foreclosure king the sitting Secretary of the U.S. Treasury.
