Description

In the millionaire's playground of Paradise City, the sinister Ticky Edris is planning the perfect heist. It's taken him years to set up a bank robbery in broad daylight, and with only two accomplices needed: a smooth con man and a smart beautiful blonde. As Ticky's plan gets put into action, luck is on his side, but as people start dying and disappearing, detective Tom Lepski picks up the trail. Suddenly, Ticky's plan is in danger, and if there is one thing he didn't count on, it was the show more personalities of the very people who are most vital to his plan. show less

V románu odhaluje hned zpočátku o jaký zločin půjde,kdo ho provede,jakým způsobem a z jakého důvodu.Motivem zločinu je chorobná touha po penězích,násobená vyhlídkou na život v přepychu..
La acción se desarrolla en Paradise City, en torno al astuto plan urdido por una grotesca banda para atracar un banco.
