Dur à Fuir

Mackin is a thief's thief, a real professional, the kind of guy Chicago mobster Frank Riles refers to as "a stand-up badass." What else can you say about a crook who keeps his income tax forms scrupulously in order and his money in Swiss bank accounts, and makes a bank job look like a trip to the convenience store? If he pulls, a job, it's big, it's clean, and it's on the weekend, because that's when he likes to work.

When Riles taps Mackin to pull a heist involving $250,000 in food stamps, for a guy named Pointy Williams, he's asking a favor. Mackin's got a bad feeling about this job - he doesn't know the crew, and it's too rushed for his tastes, but when a "made man" asks you for a favor, you try to oblige. But Pointy tries to cheat Mackin out of his cut, and Mackin has to shoot two dirty cops to get out of town alive. Now he's got blood on his hands, a dogged detective named Petrone on his trail, and revenge on his mind.

As Mackin plots vengeance, Pointy escalates the war while Chicago mob bosses watch from the shadows, ready to eliminate anyone who threatens the smooth running of their lucrative enterprises.
