Curse of Al Capone's Gold by Mike Thompson
Andy Larson, a North Dakota cop, and four close friends will hijack a truck load of bootleg booze coming in from Canada.
Everything goes wrong, when after months of meticulous planning, they
actually take down the whisky truck and one of his friends is killed by
a machine gun toting guard and they end up killing all the men in the
trucks. When a shaken Larson and his remaining friends unload the
whiskey they find the reason for the extra security is sixty-thousand
dollars in gold coins belonging to Al "Scarface" Capone. Capone and his
henchmen ignite a furious hunt for his gold and the men who stole it.
The hardest task Andy Larson will ever face is saving his friends while
trying to stay alive himself...
"Gangsters, Tommy guns, and stolen gold, all in one fast-moving package. Grab a copy of Mike Thompson's new novel and read it before someone makes the movie." -- Bill Crider, author of Death by Accident
"Curse of Al Capone's Gold combines the most entertaining elements of the gangster story, the western, and the caper novel with a fresh voice and agood o'l boy grin that always accompanies the best yarn. Mike Thompson seems to have as much fun as any of his characters, and it's infectious." -- Loren D. Estleman, author of Frames
