About this book
The story
Mo Melnick once drummed for Sunshine Apocalypse. Now he rents out beach umbrellas on the Jersey Shore, which is about as far from the stage as a man can get without leaving the sand. So when Johnny Clay, his old bandmate and long-standing enemy, turns up dying and asking for one last reunion gig at Fun City, the beachfront amusement park where the band began, Mo agrees, grudgingly.
Then Johnny explains what he really wants: to rob the place on the Fourth of July. The plan is full of holes, the crew is a band of middle-aged has-beens, and Mo is tired of barely staying afloat. Michael Kardos sets up a caper of faded glory and seaside chaos, for anyone who likes their heists scrappy and their heroes well past their prime.
