- Synopsis
- The world of the traveling carnival is a colorful, rowdy, and mean one, but for Jet Heywood and his little girl, Stella, it is a refuge, a place to call home. Jet, though recovering from a massive head injury, is back where he came from, taking on all nightly challengers in the boxing ring to earn a precarious living and keep the social workers at bay. But a dangerous man named Gottfleisch has masterminded an armored van heist now gone badly wrong: Scott Heywood is on the run with two million pounds. Gottfleisch believes that Jet knows where his brother is, and he and his men will use any means necessary to get to Scott and the money starting with Jet, if they can find him. What Stella and Jet undergo together in this intense and terrifying novel brings forth unexpected reserves of love and strength. Russell James is rapidly emerging as one of England's finest writers in the hard-edged tradition by creating fiction The Face calls "an unholy cross between Len Deighton and the great American noir novelist David Goodis." Following the acclaimed Payback and Slaughter Music, Count Me Out enters unexplored territory to become his most striking work to date.
