Ike Caudine never meant to become a criminal....but he sure does like it.
Salesman, scam artist, criminal, killer--Ike Caudine never admits what he has become, but he knows he likes it.
In 1995 Greenwich, Connecticut, struggling salesman Ike Caudine jumps at the chance to join in on an internet startup scheme. After two years of hard drinking and high living, he and his partner, Fritz, wind up with nothing but Ike’s idealized memories of success. Ten years go by and Ike is working as an office assistant. His quiet, but humiliating existence, is upended when his girlfriend leaves him. He decides to win her back by re-achieving his imagined success by reuniting with Fritz, who devises a complex business plan to launder money for marijuana dealers.
Ike wins back his girlfriend but does so without admitting to himself or to anyone that, despite the violence in which he has been involved, he has become a criminal, having only played a minor role in the day-to-day activities of the now booming money laundering operation. But when Fritz is imprisoned, Ike is compelled to take over the business. A power struggle begins as a sensual give and take, but then escalates into the novel's brutally violent climax.
