IG Live | A Conversation with Michael Kardos

 


IG Live | A Conversation with Michael Kardos


A few weeks ago I sat down on Instagram Live with author Michael Kardos to talk about his delightful crime novel Fun City Heist and it was every bit as fun as the book itself.


Here’s the setup: Mo used to be the drummer in a band that almost made it. Now he’s renting beach chairs to tourists and trying not to think too hard about the life he didn’t have. Then his old bandmate Johnny shows up with two things — a terminal ALS diagnosis and one last wild idea. Reunite the band for a 4th of July show at the boardwalk amusement park where it all began. And while they’re at it? Rob the place.


It’s a heist novel with real heart. What makes it work isn’t just the caper.  It’s Mo’s relationship with his teenage daughter running underneath everything. I gave it 4 stars and had a blast reading it. Full review here.
