The Cadillac Job

Description

Car thieves and the chop shop that buys from them combine to create high-octane stories of hot cars, hot crimes, and hot times in Dallas, Texas. In “The Cadillac Job,” loyalty beyond the battlefield sends Carly and Knuckles on one last mission to save a dying teammate. When Carly isn’t slinging drinks at the local VFW, she boosts cars—a job much like the one she had on a vehicle recovery team in Afghanistan. Except her team isn’t the same. Sweets is dying. And the last time Knuckles scouted for a Mustang, he ended up at a dude ranch off highway 175. Her commanding officer is different, too. She no longer answers to Captain Shrader. She answers to Huey, and the consequences for disobeying orders are deadly. Determined to save Sweets, Carly steals cars to pay for a lifesaving surgery. But progress is slow, and Sweets is running out of time—until the Cadillac Job. The payout is big. So are the risks. If Carly succeeds, Sweets lives. If she fails, they both die.
