Way Past Legal: A Novel

A petty thief, Manny suddenly has more money than he’s ever dreamed of thanks to his latest job. But a big score brings big danger-from his dubious partner and from the Russian mobsters they ripped off. Worse, if Manny’s busted again, he’ll go back to prison for life, leaving behind his motherless five-year-old son, Nicky.

Desperate to beat the odds and his enemies, Manny grabs Nicky and heads to the wilds of Maine. There he finds a home and an unlikely surrogate family among the Mainers. But his enemies have caught his scent. Now Manny must discover if he has what it takes to change his street-tough ways. But can he really settle into a new life if it means endangering everyone he’s come to love
