A criminal offense caper in the traditions of Elmore Leonard and Carl Hiaasen, this fast and funny debut is the story of "Shake" Bouchon, fresh out of prison and ready forever on the in a straight line and narrow-well, maybe after one previous job.... When Charles "Shake" Bouchon, professional wheel man, strolls out of prison after a three-year stretch for grand robbery auto, he's got only two problems: he's too nice a man for the life span he's led and not nice enough for just about any other. So he says yes when he's asked to perform a simple errand for his former boss and enthusiast, Alexandra Ilandryan, the formidable pakhan of the Armenian mob in LA. All Shake has to do is deliver a package to Las Vegas and grab a briefcase. Only the package actually is a healthy young housewife called Gina whose man has run afoul of Dick Moby, aka "The Whale", a distressing 400-pound Vegas strip-club owner. Tremble hates to think after that happen to Gina when he delivers her towards the Whale, so in a move that's as noble as it is boneheaded, he chooses to create her free. Now Tremble and Gina are away from home to Panama, expecting to unload the valuable-and highly unusual-contents of The Whale's briefcase. Tremble could finish up a wealthy man, but first he'll have to outmaneuver two irritated criminal offense bosses, a murderous Armenian thug plagued by erectile superfunction, a former pro soccer player who blames Tremble for his romantic woes, and a billionaire swindler with a flair for the theatrical. Not forgetting, and not the least, Shake should survive his own heart, since he'll discover that wholesome housewife Gina is even more intriguing, and far more complicated, than he ever truly imagined. Filled with blindsided double-crosses and hard photos to the top, Gutshot Right is an account of love, chance, and larceny against the chances.
