#659 The Street Ends at the Cemetery- Clark Howard


#659 The Street Ends at the Cemetery- Clark Howard

This is another excellent selection from the 2013 Best American Mystery Stories collection. $1.2 million was taken from a Modesto bank. The robber was caught with the stolen getaway car but the money was not recovered. Now In jail there is a plan to find out where it is. Here are the characters:

-Cory- A low level prison guard that befriends the thief’s girlfriend and accomplice. 
-Billie-Sue- The girlfriend, waiting patiently for Lester’s release.
-Lester- The thief himself still in prison.
-Hardesty- A former FBI agent still claiming his credentials.
-Duffy- A nervous prison warden who thinks Hardesty is for real.

Who ends up with the money? We have a sting operation, a planned prison break, quickly shifting allegiances, and a few hastily procured weapons—all sorts of fun!
