After doing a stretch of hard time in juvenile jail, he cleaned up his act as a computer techie-only to be laid off when the economy went south. Now hes facing a mountain of unpaid bills, a car on its last legs, imminent eviction, and a snowballs chance in hell with Pam, a sexy waitress/actress on the hunt for a man with means. Enter Scamz, a slick brother from Dantes checkered past whose successful, illegal business associations keep him in custom-tailored suits, a Benz CL600, and a lavish Hollywood mansion with his pick of gorgeous women. Dante is determined to stay straight...after one last con that could put him back on top. But he gets pulled in deeper when his old friend Jackson, whos 6,000 behind in child support, becomes part of the sting. The icing on the cake is Pam who, seduced by the easy money, suddenly finds Dante irresistible...until everything goes wrong. A provocative and seductive story of contemporary men and women on the move and on the make, living large-and small-in L.A., Thieves Paradise is this phenomenally gifted author at the top of his game (Chicago Defender).
