Overview"Bonnie and Clyde. Saving democracy, one bank robbery at a time. As the country limps out of the Great Depression, America needs new heroes. Like Bonnie and Clyde. Turns out, they never died that fateful day in 1934. The photos of their bloodied bullet-riddled corpses and the funerals were faked. Instead, the outlaw lovers were kidnapped by a secret organization defending American democracy and the working class from capitalist greed. Forced into a covert life, they are given a dangerous and desperate mission--stop a cabal of wealthy industrialists from assassinating President Roosevelt and sinking his progressive New Deal policies. Can true love, a fast car and a Browning Automatic Rifle save America from itself? Bonnie and Clyde: Resurrection Road tells a fascinating ""what-if"" story of the return of two unlikely heroes thrust into a fight against inequality during America's Great Depression--a historical thriller with surprising contemporary relevance."
