One faded rock star. One last gig. One breathtaking lie. It's going to be a July Fourth to remember in this breathtaking thriller, packed with astonishing twists--perfect of fans of Lisa Scottoline, Megan Abbott, Jeffery Deaver, and Gregg Hurwitz . . . and everyone who ever wished they were a rockstar.

Mo Melnick used to be a drummer in rock band Sunshine Apocalypse. He used to be someone. These days he rents beach umbrellas on the Jersey Shore.

The last thing he expects is for Johnny Clay, his old bandmate turned enemy, to ask him a favor. Johnny's dying, and before he passes he wants Sunshine Apocalypse to reunite for one last gig at Fun City, the beachfront amusement park where their musical journey began.

Mo's in--reluctantly. But then Johnny reveals his real plan: He doesn't just want to play at Fun City on the fourth of July. He wants to rob it.

The plan is crazy. It has more holes than a golf course. But Mo's sick of barely keeping his head above water, so he and his gang of middle-aged has-beens dive into what will be the most outrageous heist New Jersey's ever seen--if, that is, they can pull it off alive . . .
