ABOUT THE BOOK

The Pineville Heist by Lee Chambers

RELEASE DATE. March 28, 2012

PUBLISHER. MISFP

 


SYNOPSIS. Seventeen year old Aaron stumbles into the aftermath of a five million dollar bank heist gone wrong. Hiding under a canoe, Aaron partially catches the murder of one of the robbers. In the chaos he sneaks away with the money and heads straight for the closest place of safety, his high school. Terrified, Aaron tells his shocking tale to Amanda Becker, his drama teacher, but it doesn’t take long for one of the psychotic robbers to show up. In the locked down school the pair are relentlessly pursued in a quest to get the money back and wipe out the evidence.

EXCERPT

The red glowing tinge of a setting sun bounced off the roof of Tremblay‟s cruiser as it sharked through the streets of Pineville, with sirens in the place of a predatory fin. The cruiser chased the smaller fish, the civilian cars, to their hiding places on the side of the road. As the cruiser swam past, the drivers breathed sighs of relief that the sirens were not meant to capture them. At least not for today.

Aaron watched this game of justice and civility, cat and mouse, shark and fish. He found it unfair. ”The Law” could force people to obey traffic symbols but could do nothing for his two friends.
