About this title

Synopsis

"They were used to slow decay, not instant destruction."

In the summer of 1987, a mysterious fire burns down a family business in a small town. Two young brothers and their sarcastic cousin discover that $25,000 in cash was burnt in the fire, and they believe there could be more hidden around the sprawling property. During their search, they unearth nefarious secrets about their family. Meanwhile, their dad and uncle have a plan of their own, unbeknownst to the kids.

This dark comedy caper provides a unique perspective on the American Dream seen through the eyes of latchkey kids who only know the outside world from TV, movies, and books. They are confronted by the harsh reality of the 1980s, from the War on Drugs to the offshoring that gutted towns across America.

The kids discover what people will do for money, including themselves.

Sale & Shipping Terms

Terms of Sale

If you plan to pay by check or money order, please do NOT make the check or money order payable to Mahler Books, or we will not be able to accept it. Please make checks or money orders payable to Erik R Magnuson. Books may be returned within 15 days for a full refund so long as they are in the same condition when sold. Please contact us prior to returning a product.

Shipping Terms

Orders usually ship within 2 business days. Shipping costs are based on standard-sized books weighing up to 4 LB, or 1.8 KG. If your book order is heavy and/or over-sized and the shipping address is OUTSIDE of The United States, we may contact you to let you know extra shipping is required.

At Mahler Books, we make no attempt to over-charge for shipping. Sometimes International buyers are surprised to discover the high cost of shipping heavy or over-sized books.
If you are located OUTSIDE of The United States, and you are ordering a heavy or over-sized book, the shipping costs are estimated to be about 42 US dollars. This is the cost of the Global Priority Flat Rate Box. I agree that this shipping cost seems excessive, but this is what the Postal Service charges me, and this is the cheapest rate I have been able to locate for large books weighing over 1.8 KG.
