Charlie Huston Knihy

Detektivní román vypráví o tom, co všechno se může přihodit, pokud svolíte, že svému sousedovi na pár dní pohlídáte kocoura. Hank, barman a nadšený fanoušek baseballu, jednoho dne zjistí, že je v pěkné bryndě. Několik dní po tom, co jeho soused Russ narychlo odjel z města a svěřil mu na hlídání svého kocoura Buda v přepravce na kočky, ho v podniku, kde pracuje, zbijí dva Rusové. Hankovi začíná docházet, že něco není v pořádku - v přepravce objeví klíč, který po něm chtějí jak policisté, tak gangsteři z podsvětí. Ale co je to za klíč? Všechno začíná nabírat rychlé obrátky: hra na schovávanou a útěk přes střechy domů, praní špinavých peněz, jízda metrem s mrtvolou po boku, ale především rozhodování, jak z toho všeho ven. Ale je vůbec cesta zpátky?
