By Hook or Crook — Chris Roy

The Mississippi Gulf Coast's most daring couple live life in the fast lane. Razor, a trained engineer, former boxing champion and all-around badass, is the driving force behind this dynamic, illicit fun. His girlfriend and trusted partner, Blondie, also a former pugilist champ, and an engineer in-training, is a seductress without equal. The criminal duo show off their skills from the most basic crimes, such as stealing cars, to elaborate banking crimes and credit theft. Along the journey, their engineering abilities shine in creative anti-authority devices, saving them from capture and enabling them to carry off scams and jobs with gut-wrenching joy. Their fighting skills are challenged in the street, in jail, and in an explosive battle in the ring for the finale, raking in betting money or saving their necks from disaster. Detailed accounts of the scams and illegal acts give readers an in-your-face experience of determined crooks that work hard and retire early with millions of dollars. Their unique relationship connection makes their careful planning, hardcore philosophy and ambition a successful story of teamwork. They get in. They get theirs. They get out.
