Sam and Rachel are working on fumes in L.A., running a "Naughty Girls" bachelor-party setup out of a rented storefront just to scrape together travel money. The plan is simple: hit a quick score, head north, and disappear into a postcard-perfect California town where the money's new, the houses are pricey, and the marks think they're too smart to be taken. But Bullion's glossy streets hide old grudges and watchful eyes, and every move Sam and Rachel make to hook a real-estate whale just might be lighting a signal fire for the enemies they left behind. One big flip could buy their way out of the life¿if the past doesn't catch them first. Travel Money by Jonathan Brown is a sun-drenched, double-crossed installment of A Grifter's Song, the crime fiction series created by Frank Zafiro. When an old Hollywood grift collides with desperate people on the streets, a vengeful movie star, and a PI who won't let the past stay buried, the con pushes them into a world where being "down and out" can get you killed before the cameras ever roll.

The Down and Out by Lawrence Maddox is a gritty, Hollywood-underbelly installment of A Grifter's Song, the crime fiction series created by Frank Zafiro.
