The Family Biz

Ex-con Chance Winston has been out of prison and on the straight-and-narrow for one thousand days, now making ends meet driving for a ride-sharing company. So, when he picks up a fare who threatens to upend his entire life, he’s a bit skeptical. But a family member is in trouble–serious, kneecapping trouble–and he reluctantly gets sucked back into the family business. Can he and his band of grifters pull off one last job to save the day? Or is Chance the one being scammed? In a family of con artists, where honesty is but a passing fancy, it’s really hard to tell.

The Sting meets The Grifters in the DMV! If you love to watch a fictional con play out–and who doesn’t? If you can’t resist a dysfunctional family–and who can? If you have to admit that even you yourself could be persuaded to do one last job for the right reason…then The Family Biz is the book for you. Orloff’s wry wit, big heart, and canny hand with a tense plot add up to make this a completely satisfying read.”-Catriona McPherson, multi-award-winning author of The Last Ditch mystery series
