Albert and Scarlett are a formidable pair. With his ability to read minds and her way with a weapon, no bank can keep them out and no jail can keep them in.

To win their freedom, the outlaws Scarlett and Browne are charged with pulling off an impossible mission.
And the clock is ticking . . .

★ "[A] fizzingly paced adventure. Full of action, outlaws, dystopian societies, and post-apocalyptic ghouls. To say the stakes are high is an understatement, but that is Stroud at his best. Both hilarious and suspenseful." --The Horn Book Magazine, starred
"Stroud outdoes himself in this second book, finding inventive ways to amp up the thrills as Scarlett and Albert tackle more dangerous heists and confront fearsome villains from their pasts. The author displays a cinematic eye for detail in thrilling action sequences. Stroud's writing crackles with wit. The extremely satisfying ending seems to promise yet another book in this marvelous series." --The Buffalo News
"Stroud's inventive plotting and playful language make for a clever, suspenseful and fizzingly paced adventure." --Toronto Star
