I enjoyed this one for the most part though it really was somewhat different than expected. The MC in this book is somewhat less engaging than other MC's of recently read books or movies I have seen.

The story opens with a bank robbery that goes wrong and the man who organised it calling in a marker from a former compatriot who messed up a robbery before. This is our hero, Jack Delton, is the name he uses for the story, who is a...
