YOUR FRIENDLY NEIGHBOURHOOD CRIMINAL

Book ID/图书代码： 00110910B38786

English Summary/英文概要： Ex-criminal Montgomery "Monty" Haaviko would rather be known as the friendly neighbourhood daycare provider, but it’s his criminal past that brings him to the attention of Marie Blue Duck. Blue Duck is a human rights activist in Canada and she wants Monty to set-up a route to smuggle refugees into the United States from Canada.

Monty’s carefully laid plans quickly go off the rails when he squares-off against local thug, Samantha Richot. Their power struggle rapidly escalates into kidnapping, torture, and a daring and highly explosive stand-off. Just when Monty thinks he might just have it all under control, his old jailhouse crony, Hershel "Smiley" Wiebe, shows up on his doorstep. Monty is more than suspicious of Smiley’s motives, but figures if you should keep old friends close, you should keep old cons even closer. A gripping and aggressive crime novel, Your Friendly Neighbourhood Criminal, explores how far a man will go to protect his family, home and neighbourhood and asks the question "Can a man do good by doing bad?"

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 充滿昆丁塔倫提諾味道的黑色犯罪小說

前任罪犯蒙提希望大家眼中的他是友善的街坊托兒所老闆，不過…這個女人找上他偏偏是看上他以前的犯罪紀錄。
瑪莉是加拿大的人權主義份子，她找上蒙提是希望他能夠幫她把一群難民從加拿大偷渡到美國。
蒙提縝密的計畫就在他和當地的流氓里查對上的時候，開始走調。而且兩個人的鬥爭很快演變成為綁架、酷刑事件上演的緊張對峙。且就在蒙提以為他已經掌控住情況的時候，他以前的牢獄好友史邁利偏這時又剛好來敲他家大門。蒙提對史邁利此時出現的動機很懷疑，但他也知道，如果ㄧ個人要和老友保持緊密聯繫，那對以前在道上的老友，更是有必要要好好照顧一下。
想要做點好事卻老是又跟壞事掛上勾的蒙提，最後為了保護家人和街坊鄰居，又會被迫做出什麼壞事來？(Kate Cheng)
