Twenty-Five Large – Jas. R. Petrin

The September 2006 AHMM has this story. It’s an ingenious caper crime, but the caper actually comes after the crime. Two men decide to steal a huge amount of money, but what they do with the money…Well, that’s the ingenious part. The characters drawn here are well rounded and the story is fun.

There was one problem though. If I do my math right (and there is never a guarantee of that) then the loot is counted up wrong. This is important for the story as it becomes a major plot point. Still, there is a good chance I’ve simply done my math wrong. If there’s a mathematician out there who’d like to contact me, well, you know where I am.
