Car thieves and the chop shop that buys from them combine to create high-octane stories of hot cars, hot crimes, and hot times in Dallas, Texas. The Cadillac Job by Stacy Woodson In 'The Cadillac Job,' loyalty beyond the battlefield sends Carly and Knuckles on one last mission to save a dying teammate. When Carly isn’t slinging drinks at the local VFW, she boosts cars-a job much like the one she had on a vehicle recovery team in Afghanistan. Except her team isn’t the same. Sweets is dying. And the last time Knuckles scouted for a Mustang, he ended up at a dude ranch off highway 175. Her commanding officer is different, too. She no longer answers to Captain Shrader. She answers to Huey, and the consequences for disobeying orders are deadly. Determined to save Sweets, Carly steals cars to pay for a lifesaving surgery. But progress is slow, and Sweets is running out of time-until the Cadillac Job. The payout is big. So are the risks. If Carly succeeds, Sweets lives. If she fails, they both die. Run and Gun by Joseph S. Walker When Lyle Mulaney steals his first car in 'Run and Gun,' he doesn’t know he’s also stealing a blackmail film hotter than a Dallas summer. Now, the disgraced cop is caught between a progressive firebrand eager to take down the powerful and a cold-blooded fixer who will kill to protect them. Mulaney’s a hell of a driver, but can he outrun the man he has no hope of outgunning? A Hunka Hunka Burning Rubber by Hugh Lessig It’s more than 'A Hunka Hunka Burning Rubber' when master car thief Jimmy Lee Skelton steals a luxury Stutz from a group of Elvis Presley impersonators, it seems like the perfect score: Imagine, a car once driven by the King himself. Except this is not that car, and those aren’t Elvis impersonators. For Skelton, rocking and rolling was never so dangerous.
