Synopsis:
In this jaunty follow-up to Big Numbers, a scruffy stockbroker returns to tangle with mobsters, women and his own big mouth. The good news, as the story opens, is that the hero is in the company of a gorgeous naked lady. The bad news is that she’s pointing a shotgun at him. It’s a typical predicament for Austin Carr, a semi-shady New Jersey financial professional temporarily in charge of Shore Securities…He’s being extorted into opening a money-laundering account for local crime boss Bluefish; an auditor who was investigating his company has turned up murdered; a fetching state police captain figures he’s the key to her organized-crime probe; and his boss’s mother has been picked up for fixing her church bingo game.
Review:
BIG MONEY is everything it says it will be. Austin Carr continues to find trouble where ever he goes regardless of what his intentions may be. In this sequel to BIG NUMBERS, he has finally established himself in a business and is sufficiently respectable to have regular visitations with his two children. Little does he know that Vic left him in charge of Shore Securities so he could take the heat and be the fall guy. The story moves along as Austin tries to do what he thinks is best - at least when he's not lusting after the lady he sees in a bar and later finds out she's not what she seemed. A little humor, a lot of action, and a quick read. I'm looking forward to BIG MOJO!
