Only Way Out, Goldberg - B

          In a loser town on the Oregon coast, its leading loser is a crooked cop, Jack, who stumbles upon the opportunity of a lifetime. He checks out a van that went over a cliff and finds a dead man, Robert, along with millions in cash and other goodies. The driver had just ripped off the law firm where he supervised clients' private safe deposit boxes. Jack dismembers the body and destroys the van. Every now and then, he uses something from his stash to bribe someone, while the law firm and many others continue to believe Robert is still out there.

          Decades later, however, Robert's sister, Penny, and Mitch, who now has Robert's old job and is also a crook, think otherwise. They believe someone in town — likely Jack — has been gaming the system and that Robert has long been dead. This is a fun dive into a world of grifters, con men, thieves, and miscreants of every variety.
