Summary
At 11:34 a.m. one Saturday in August 2019, Boyd Halverson strode into Community National Bank in northern California, where at gunpoint, he forces Angie Bing, the teller, to scrape together as much money as she can. Boyd does not stop at robbery, as he commands the Angie to get into his vehicle. So begins the adventure of Boyd Halverson--star journalist turned notorious online disinformation troll turned JC Penny manager--and his irrepressible hostage, Angie Bing. Haunted by his past and weary of his present, Boyd has one goal before the authorities catch up with him: settle a score with the man who destroyed his life. By Monday Boyd and Angie reach Mexico; by winter, they are in a lakefront mansion in Minnesota. On their trail are hitmen, jealous lovers, ex-cons, an heiress, a billionaire shipping tycoon, a three-tour veteran of Iraq, and the ghosts of Boyd's past. Everyone, it seems, except the police
