Criminal

by Ed Brubaker

The traditional heist story is turned on its head in COWARD. Leo can plan the perfect score, but only if he can be convinced the job is safe, because Leo is not a shoot-first think-later type of criminal. Leo is a professional, whose biggest desire in life is not to end up exactly where he belongs: in a prison cell.
