Özet

“It’s just life. Always. You’re either playing someone or you’re being played.”

When wannabe criminal Jonathan hears about a life-changing amount of unprotected cash just begging to be stolen, the opportunity is too good to pass up. Problem is he can’t do it alone, so he ropes in a couple of low rent potheads, kicking off a whole bunch of trouble. It’s left to Nuke, a gangster with an explosive temper and marital difficulties, to sort out the mess, all the time dealing with his psychotic bosses, some dodgy cops, his bored wife, and of course Jonathan, the man with the plan.

In the mould of Elmore Leonard or early Tarantino SCAM is an exciting crime comedy romp through five interconnected tales full of dumb criminals, harebrained schemes, formidable femme fatales, and even a sweet love story, all told with a distinctly Australian sensibility.

So, if you enjoy your crime gritty, your humour dark and dry, and plots that twist and turn and keep you guessing right up to the very last second, you’ll love Jack Stroke’s debut novel SCAM.

Was just going to listen to the story for a while but landed up listening to the whole audio book in one go. Well written and entertaining. The narrator 's voice was pleasant as well.

A truly good story

With the vibrancy of a Quentin Tarantino film, this story concentrates on characters, small groups or couples in conversation , moving through them in a seemingly unconnected manner, each of the story parts with their own time lines, until all finally come together. It is, at times, hilariously funny, especially the sections dealing with two serious stoners, Steve-o and his slightly more reasonable pal, Dax. It is also sometimes violent with sudden (and not so sudden) deaths but actual torture of the occasional victim is more in the mind of the reader than spelled out in the text.

Sent in Melbourne, Australia, these are low life wannabes for the most part, rather than true gangsters, so pretty well ensured to mess things up. And, of course, they do. Great natural dialogue (remember - Australian!) and well defined characterisations so that even the quick to rage psychotic killed Nuke had gained this reader's empathy by the end. Narration by Caleb Dust was excellent, the protagonists each given distinctive, separate voicing and the text between the conversations clear and expressive. A fine lerformance. Just in case anyone might be uncertain about any Aussie words used, there is a glossary at the beginning of the story, though, at least for this Brit, most were already known or self evident anyway.

My thanks to the rights holder of Scam, who, at my request, freely gifted me with a complimentary copy, via Audiobook Boom. Much appreciated. Jack Stroke is an author previously unknown to me, but I fully intend to find out more. Definitely recommended to all who enjoy quirky crime capers and Tarantino films. Good fun.

Look for angles, take a chance.
