Where the Money Is — David Jacobs

The Ultimate Con Man

For years, Henry Manning was the best bank robber in the business. Pulling off dozens of ingenious heists with seamless precision, Henry was finally caught when he collapsed in a bank vault during one of his hold-ups. Now a near-vegetable, Henry, paralyzed by a stroke, sits in a nursing home awaiting his transfer to a prison hospital.

The Perfect Crime

Carol McKay, Henry's round-the-clock nurse at the home, thinks that prison officials, doctors, and the nursing home staff are all being taken for a ride.She's pretty sure that Henry is faking it-and she's determined to find out. Henry's pretty good at playing the catatonic stroke victim-until Carol takes him picnicking and dumps his wheelchair into a lake. Forced to swim to safety, Henry's game is up. Until Carol has a crazy plan to take part in the ultimate bank heist-one that could make them both filthy rich...or send them both up the river for good.
