Reviews
“Funny and touching . . . Here’s hoping Kardos provides his unlikely hero with a well-deserved encore”
Kirkus Reviews
“With more twists and turns than Fun City’s giant rollercoaster, Kardos’ novel is equal parts wacky and heartwarming”
Booklist
“Kardos renders his washed-up protagonist with tenderness and sympathy, and he orchestrates the tale’s madcap climax with aplomb. Carl Hiaasen fans will eat this up”
Publishers Weekly

The Clarion-Ledger
“A twisted heist tale that layers nostalgia with heartfelt emotion”
