A Thousand Dollars A Month

Andy Carver and Byron Walker are basically good guys. They just happen to have a highly questionable side-hustle. 

Andy was a soldier. Now he’s a tractor parts salesman with an adrenaline deficit. Walker is a middle school PE teacher who needs two part time jobs just to make ends meet. Another thousand dollars a month would make a big difference for Walker. When an opportunity presents itself, Andy and Walker commit their first burglary, with more to follow. 

Then they come across a weapon that has to have been stolen from the military. Andy feels obligated to report it to the Army, which means tiptoeing around what he and Walker were doing in a place they didn’t belong. Soon, he’s in an uneasy alliance with two Military Police investigators and an ATF agent.

At its core, this is a buddy story. It will appeal to readers who follow Robert Crais’s Elvis Cole and Joe Pike, Nick Petrie’s Peter Ash and Lewis, Robert B. Parker’s Spenser and Hawk.
