Smooth: Tales of a Non-Convicted Criminal, (Paperback)

From the shotgun houses and juke joints of Ferriday, Louisiana comes Vincent Lamond, a smooth operator determined to follow in the footsteps of his father's life of crime-with one important difference: never getting caught.

At the height of the muscle car era, Vincent cruises from his hometown to New Jersey to the American Southwest, all the while sweet-talking women and launching scheme after scheme behind a façade of respectability. From drag races to drug deals to bank fraud, Vincent angles for ways to pocket cash, always staying a step or two ahead of the law. Along the way, he meets Madelyn Grace, his true love-or so he believes.

After Vincent rescues Madelyn from a turbulent relationship, his life is turned on its side when he learns he's not the only one who's been scheming.

To make matters worse, Vincent begins to suspect the feds are on his trail. As he sets his sights on a new destination, will Vincent's luck finally run out, or is he smooth enough to remain a non-convicted criminal?
