Funny (with a bit of sad) story of Max, a former actor with a fondness for Shakespeare, and his orphaned nephew Owen traveling the US in an RV, doing 'shows' where they rob (mostly) Republicans of jewelry & cash. It has a bit of gore & violence, but not much compared to Mr Blunt's usual works. Owen says he wants to get out of the biz; he has a drama scholarship to Julliard. Max wants one more (and then one more and then....) score. The ending is not happy, but is is appropriate and complete.

A lot of plot packed in a fairly short (270 pages) novel.
