âFans of Donald Westlake and Elmore Leonard will enjoy this bright caper novelâ by the USA Todayâbestselling author of the Murder She Wrote series (Publishers Weekly).  Engineer Carlton Smythe feels bored in his marriageâand once he meets a mysterious woman in a bar during a trip to Buenos Aires, he becomes desperate to find the funds he needs to run off with her and start a whole new life far from his native Canada. Thatâs when he comes up with an audacious moneymaking scheme that draws on his professional expertise. What would certain parties pay for advance knowledge of a massive US power outage?  But to pull it off, he will need to do business with some wholly undesirable criminal elementsâand thatâs when things start to spin wildly out of control . . .  âA wonderful read.â âMichael Palmer, New York Timesâbestselling author  Â
