About This Book
A cunning bank robber uses a female disguise to hold up a suburban bank while two undercover detectives are forced to comply, then escapes with the cash and outruns pursuing officers in a high-speed chase. The narrator and his partner piece together the crook's ruse, recover their weapons, and commandeer a car to pursue, following the thief through crowded streets toward open country as tense near-misses and quick thinking shape the pursuit. The story focuses on deception, improvisation, and the cat-and-mouse dynamics between a clever criminal and the police.
