Stacks Image 56

A vault full of French fascist gold just waits to be taken.

It’s the early days of 1940 and Paris has settled into the new normal — a war where no one’s bothered to show up. As uncertainty permeates the darkened City of Light, a secretive organization works to concentrate the wealth and power of France with a select few. For them, Hitler is an ally.

For Les Boots, things could not be more in their favor. After a decade of breaking hearts and getting by, the sexy and sophisticated trio of con artists decide it’s time for something completely different. How hard, after all, could heisting a vault be? With the help of an English boy’s gift for forgery, a German Jesuit with a knack for truck engines and hopscotch, and a Danish soloist who keeps her fingers loose by busting strongboxes, Le Boot Hill Gang mount up and take on le beau monde of Paris.

They’re sure they can deal with the dogged investigator, the murderous terrorist, and the nasty rival gang. They think they can even manage when the neighbors to the east finally get around to invading.

But none of them counted on the relentless pursuit of a spoiled society girl, out to get whatever — or whomever — she wants.

What reviews are saying about Fall Rotten by Eric Serrell

IndieReader
“The dialogue is sharp and cutting…everything you’d want in a caper comedy.”

“The quality of the writing in Eric Serell’s FALL ROTTEN is first-rate throughout, and when the jokes hit home, they pack a wallop.”

“Savvy Hemingway fans will recognize the scene and characters…”

NetGalley
“Entertaining heist novel with a healthy dash of comedy and black humor mixed in to spice things up. Recommended”

“A little bit ‘The Italian Job,’ a little bit ‘Inglorious Basterds,’ and an awful lot of fun.”

Edelweiss+
“…entertaining and engrossing…. I look forward to reading other books by this author. Highly recommended!”

CPH Review
“A thoroughly fun, subversively modern twist on the screwball comedies of the time. Hepburn & Grant would feel right at home.”
