Something to do in Las Cruces

De: Allan Leverone

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Years after he's last heard from his former partner, a small-time con artist is offered the opportunity for the biggest score of his career. The target? One of the most dangerous drug-and-gun-runners in the desert southwest.

The wreckage of Jake and Rose's long-ago business partnership - not to mention their romantic one - is cause for concern to Jake, but who in his right mind would turn down the opportunity to split an easy hundred grand? Especially when only a few days' work is required?

It's a simple decision, but almost immediately, things begin to go sideways. Soon the score that seemed too good to be true turns out to be...exactly that...

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Allan Leverone comes a 20,000-word snub-nosed Saturday Night Special of a novella. Jake and Rose were once as close as close can be, sharing a bed and each making the best use of their special talents to con unsuspecting marks out of their good stuff.

SOMETHING TO DO IN LAS CRUCES asks the question, Can you ever go back?

The answer: Of course you can, but not always in the way that you want...

Praise for Allan Leverone's noir/crime fiction:

"This is rural noir at its finest. Lyrical, brutal, and terrifying, Oklahoma Nocturne is unputdownable, and Allan Leverone is at the absolute top of his game. I'm still catching my breath." --Jon Bassoff, author of Beneath Cruel Waters

“As poignant as it is bleak and violent, Allan Leverone’s Chasing China White is a powerful, expertly written slice of gritty, bare-bones crime fiction, and just like the addiction it explores, once it has you in its grip, all you want is more. Highly recommended.” —Greg F. Gifune, author of Dangerous Boys

“As dark as the bottom of a well, this story clips along from one calamity to another. The real suspense here is whether Derek will see redemption, but Leverone makes us question if anyone really does. This is a strong dose that gets your heart pumping and will make you sweat, but like an addict, you won’t want to quit.” —Eric Beetner, author of All the Way Down

“Chasing China White starts with a simple premise—a desperate junkie agrees to do a favor for his dealer—but with each page, Allan Leverone raises the stakes and turns the screws until you’re left holding your breath at the edge of your seat. This noir tale is impossible to set aside until you follow its spiral all the way down.” —Hilary Davidson, Anthony Award–winning author of One Small Sacrifice

"The successor to Michael Crichton has landed. And his name is Allan Leverone." -- Vincent Zandry, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of The Remains and The Innocent

"Allan Leverone delivers a taut crime drama full of twists and conspiracy" -- Scott Nicholson, bestselling author of Liquid Fear
