A bracing and ingeniously cast L.A. crime novel from Edgar Award–winner Thomas Perry An aging but formidable strip club owner, Claudiu “Manco” Kapak, is robbed by a masked gunman as he places his cash receipts in a bank’s night-deposit box. Enraged, he sends out half a dozen security men to find the witless culprit. Their search leads them to Joe Carver, an innocent but hardly defenseless newcomer who evades capture and sets out to make Kapak wish he’d targeted someone else. Meanwhile, the real burglar, Jefferson Davis Falkins, and his new girlfriend Carrie seem to believe they’ve found a whole new profession: robbing Manco Kapak. Lieutenant Nick Slosser, the police detective in charge of the puzzling and increasingly violent case, has his own troubles, including worries about how he’s going to afford to send the oldest child of each of his two bigamous marriages to college without making their mothers suspicious. As this strange series of events explodes into a triple killing, Carver finds himself in the middle of a brewing gang war over Kapak’s little empire, while Falkins and Carrie journey into territory more dangerous than they could have ever imagined.

''We're moving to North Carolina? But why? When?'' Sarai asked as she and Kammie walked in from outside and overheard Sarai's mother, Carli, talking to her father, Darin, tears welling up in both of their eyes. ''Sarai, Dr. Bruce said your asthma is getting worse and we need to be out of here before winter comes,'' her mother said. ''But I don't want to move that far away. What about Kammie? I don't want to leave her!'' Sarai choked back the tears as she and Kammie held on to each other in disbelief. Kammie's eyes were wide as the tears started rolling down her face. ''Kammie can come visit during the holidays and anytime she wants,'' Sarai's mother said, and she gave them both a big hug, knowing what the separation would do to them. Sarai and Kammie cried until the day the moving truck pulled away. About the Author Carli Urena currently resides in North Carolina with her family. Her enthusiasm for creative storytelling began when her children were small and would often ask for made-up stories after reading a bedtime book. These would often end up with some type of enlightening facts or a moral included and lots of fun and laughter. Sarai's Stripes began as a short essay written by her daughter, Keturah Sarai, who both challenged and inspired her mother, Carli, to create a lively and zany story using excerpts from her class assignment. Carli holds a B.S. in psychology from Central State University in Wilberforce, Ohio.
