Nina Dolgoy leads her neighbours on a campaign to renovate the community pool, but the only way she can think to raise money is to rob a bank. Unfortunately, she isn’t very good at it. In a part of town so beaten down that even prostitutes and drug dealers have written if off, Nina Dolgoy imagines that if the local pool wasn’t boarded up, her little daughters could use it to burn off their wayward energy and avoid falling into utter degradation. So the bitterly self-proclaimed "welfare queen" leads her neighbours on a fundraising, pool-fixing community-improvement campaign that proves the sad old adage that no good deed ever goes unpunished. The only way Nina can think to raise money herself is by robbing a bank. Unfortunately, she isn’t very good at it. Coincidentally, her brother, Frank, gets out of jail and robs one. The explosive events that are unleashed force Nina and the girls to flee for their lives, but their escape turns into a sublimely bizarre chase during which Nina somehow needs to pull the wool over everybody’s eyes.

Punch Line

By: Joey Slinger

From Punch Line: It quickly became obvious that Ballantine missed his wife in a terrible way. No sooner had a decent interval of mourning passed than he began making plans to track down and kill the three assholes who had scared her to death. For a man who was eighty-one years old and who, as far as he could remember, had never caused even the slightest physical harm to any other human being, a murder spree took him into realms beyond any he had ever imagined.Ballantine considers himself a mediocre murderer at best, but such modesty doesnt fool his fellow guests, a typical nursing home population of lawyers, druggists, computer buffs, electronics geeks, knitting ladies, boiler-room operators, self-proclaimed messiahs, money launderers, school principals and arms dealers. To them, Ballantine is a man of action who galvanizes their hold over life and death.Does it matter that Dixon, the all-powerful manager of The Cloister, and Borofsky, an over-the-hill cop, may be on to them? Of course not. After all, what could they do to rein in a bunch of dying peoplekill them?Tightly plotted and utterly original, this hilarious novel breaks all boundaries to deliver a fast-paced adventure thats sure to have you falling off your chair laughing.
