Overview

"""Tough rat-a-tat-tat prose speeds the reader through a wild search for missing millions."" Jonathan Santlofer, author of The Last Mona Lisa What happens when millions in cold cash evaporates into thin air? And the only people aware of its disappearance are a collection of misfits, bunglers and crooked CIA agents? The one person on earth who knows exactly where that cash is located is a legless, ex-Navy SEAL, confined to a wheelchair. It's an icy Christmas Day in Philadelphia, City of Brotherly Love. Sam Christie has come to South Philly to visit the grave of a former Secret Service Agent, Pete Macaluso. Drive into town, place some flowers on Pete's grave, and head home - piece of cake... Not so fast; unbeknownst to Sam, he's walking straight into a sinister trap; a trap that will take him to the exact spot where the Americas meet, and pit him against ruthless mercenaries, an unrelenting cop, and rogue CIA agents. ""It's Panama, Sam... There are no rules."""

"""Zettler's tough rat-a-tat-tat prose speeds the reader through a wild search for missing millions that brought to my mind such classics as The Treasure of Sierra Madre by way of Texas, Florida and the Panama Canal, and The Maltese Falcon if Sam Spade and his eccentric group of players were a wheelchair-bound ex-Navy Seal, a former Secret Service agent, and a South Philly crime boss. I could not put it down."" Jonathan Santlofer, author of The Last Mona Lisa and The Lost Van Gogh ""In Two for the Money, Zettler delivers constant action, breakneck twists and a vivid cast of double-dealing spies, battle-scarred vets and old school gangsters fighting over a dictator's submerged secrets and cold, hard cash."" Dennis Tafoya, author of The Poor Boys Game. ""'Crazy for loving you.' Damn right, as this embodies Zettler's perfect caper yarn...at times white-knuckle, at times poignant, at times irreverent...at all the right times!"" Christopher Chambers, Shamus-nominated and Publisher's Weekly-starred author of Scavenger and Standalone ""A confederacy of desperate characters converge on Panama in the days before the canal handover to recover a hidden treasure horde of cash and secrets. With hard-hitting action and an easy, breezy style that draws the reader in until they're hooked, Zettler grabs the brass ring early in Two for the Money and never lets go. A thrilling romp from cover to cover."" Richard Helms, Shamus, Thriller, and Macavity Award-winning author of A Kind and Savage Place ""Even the twists have twists in Two for the Money, a steamy thriller where you never see what's coming until it smacks you between the eyes. Zettler's taut thriller, set in Panama just before the canal's return, follows Sam Christie as he searches for a stolen fortune. Along the way, he confronts international drug dealers, hardcore mobsters, embittered US military veterans, Panamanian and US government officials, and rogue members of the CIA. Time and again, Christie dodges torture, deceit, betrayal and murder in his fight not just to retrieve the missing money and survive, but also to save the life of the woman he loves. Two for the Money is a wild read that leaves you breathless, and keeps you guessing, start to finish."" Merry Jones, author of Childs Play"
