Publisher's Synopsis
Jonathan Joe Conway believes the world is governed by crooks and almost all riches are results of financial misdeeds. Incapable of being successful in the world of law-abiding citizens, he decides to get involved in a death-dealing criminal enterprise.
"I know two kinds of people," he jokes cynically: "the abuser and the sucker. The first takes advantage of his God-given intelligence, the latter is a fool."
The belief that good fortune comes to those who have the courage and mental power to outsmart the political system makes him inflexible in his deadly attempt to rob his fellow citizens. His siblings value the same theory. They think that the acquisition of wealth by force is the only way to go when society refuses to give you a break.
The argument that the law always reflects the interests of those in positions of power makes them hostile to conventional justice. According to Joe, only ruse and brute force are left to the pariah whose life is crippled by the consequence of socioeconomic alienation.
For the Conway brothers, getting a job is another way to circumvent the law. They do not want to work like everybody else; just search around to find what can be plundered.
Criminal struggles have changed them into monsters in the nation. None of them seems to appreciate the deadly nature of their illicit profession; and they refuse to acknowledge the equalizing effect of political morality. Their heartbreaking experiences make it irrelevant.
They are intransigent perpetrators of terrible criminal actions. Experts in their illegal business, they do not consider themselves as common criminals. Their skill is superior to the competence of the average offender.
Players with a sense of their own importance, they strive for success and distinction. Movies, books, and journals are their usual sources of information. Their disdain for amateurism is an ostentation tending to show the superiority of their crew.
Joe is brave and dogged. His stunning performance leads to the planning and execution of a plot whose trails of destruction shock the people of Miami. The turmoil caused by an act of monumental proportion drains the energy of law enforcers to the point of mental fatigue.
Quiet and clever, Jonass, the ringleader, can be raw and reckless. The gangster who spurns the law of his country is a bandit of breathtaking emotional aptness. He is surprisingly thoughtful but is capable of naked aggression.
His ability to quickly evaluate a difficult situation is the mental strength allowing him to be successful in the most perilous undertaking. He is an expert in the application of criminal theories and has become a deadly threat to his countrymen.
The Conway brothers graduated from the colleges of burglary and rape. They are ready to kill and remain unflappable in their wicked effort to plunder the nation.
