Count me out

by Russell James

?2,000,000 in used notes is an attractive proposition. Too attractive. And when Gottfleisch makes one mistake in his attempt to steal it, the cash disappears, and he knows exacly who?s taken it. So does the police. So does everyone else. What no one knows is where Scott Heywood has gone, and what he?s done with the money. But they?re all determined to find out. Which makes it all rather unpleasant for Heywood?s abandonned wife and son, his brother, Jet, the fairground boxer, and most of all for Jet?s eight-year-old daughter, who becomes the prime target of Heywood?s pursuers.
