?2,000,000 in used notes is an attractive proposition. Too attractive. And when Gottfleisch makes one mistake in his attempt to steal it, the cash disappears, and he knows exacly who?s taken it. So does the police. So does everyone else. What no one knows is where Scott Heywood has gone, and what he?s done with the money. But they?re all determined to find out. Which makes it all rather unpleasant for Heywood?s abandonned wife and son, his brother, Jet, the fairground boxer, and most of all for Jet?s eight-year-old daughter, who becomes the prime target of Heywood?s pursuers.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Combine a very minor league boxer, his van-driver brother, a blimpy master villain named Gottfleisch, and the darkest of Londons, and you have the audacious, pulpacious Count Me Out. Even mystery readers who prefer their killings off the page and their protagonists upper-crust should thrill to this tale of a heist gone wrong. Russell James's universe is rough and ready, to put it mildly, though not entirely without an ethical center. As one character so wisely puts it: "There's murdering and killing, my little dove. One person might kill by accident, while someone else don't kill no one, but is really nasty all the time."
Russell James is the author of a number of crime novels: Underground, Payback, Daylight, and Slaughter Music (Gollanz).

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor.

We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
