BLACKTOP

BONNIE & CLYDE meets Lee Child's Jack Reacher with a dash of Quentin Tarantino's TRUE ROMANCE

Jackson and Missy carve blacktop*, chasing cards across America. He's the Prince of the Turn, and they're madly in love. Since meeting her, he's changed his ways. Left that old life behind. Hasn't killed anyone in three years. And now they've finally saved enough money to retire to Cuba where the beaches are as white as powdered diamonds. Except Agent Edwards from the FBI is standing in their way. Edwards wants Jackson to get back inside his old organization and feed the FBI enough information to stop this war and get convictions. In return, Jackson won't go to jail for all those bad things he done in the past, a life he's worked hard to leave behind since meeting Missy ...
