Al This book starts off with one of the Caruso brothers, Oliver, getting yelled at over the phone at his job at the Greene and Greene banking firm, a bank so exclusive that all members have to have a minimum of 2 million dollars to become part of it. Already heavily in debt from a high hospital bill, and knowing that their jobs at the bank is short lived, they get an idea when they stumbled on an abandoned bank account of 3 Million dollars at the bank. Thinking it would be easier than stealing candy from a baby, the brothers easily landed themselves in over their heads as easy as taking the money. A friend immediately turns up dead, and the Secret Service and a female investigator are on their tales in the brother's attempt to get away free. Throughout the book you wonder why these people are after them, and the only way to get answers is through the dead client's daughter in Florida. Will the Caruso brothers make this out alive and become free millionaires?

I gave this book 5 stars even though at random times it got a tad confusing, it kept a steady thrilling pace and kept me at the edge of my seat because books like these interest and excite me.

"'Mom, I told you not to buy me anything," I moan.
She doesn't care; she's too excited. Reaching into the bag, she takes out a needlepoint canvas and holds it up. In thick, red stenciled letters are the words, "Bloom Where You're Planted." (pg. 518) This is such an important quote because this was back when the brothers had went and visited their mom to stay there for a while for to heat to die down and stay under the radar. The saying "bloom where you're planted" means that you don't always have to chase your dream. Where you are in the stage in your life could be the best for you. The Caruso brother's dream was to take that money to solve their debt problems. But in turn, it caused a lot of harm and damage. Sometimes you don't always have to chase your dream.

I feel that I connected to this audience. I think the intended audience were people who like thriller books, people who love heist and theft scenarios, and people who have jobs in the banking field.

I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in a book you won't be able to put down. Also if you like when bad guys get away then this book is for you. ...more "
