Lucky Duck
The hardest part of robbing a bank is getting away with it.
Recent college graduate Joel Howard, former bench warmer for his small town college team, is optimistic about his future with his out-of-his-league girlfriend and a job prospect with a local insurance agency. But things don't work out the way he plans when his girlfriend dumps him and he remains stuck at his unfulfilling position at the local shoe store in the mall.
Joel has always been lucky in the past, and despite the current string of bad luck he sees an opportunity at his job at the mall—because the mall has a bank.
Desperately seeking a change of pace from his father's unrelenting nagging, Joel hatches a plan to rob the mall's bank on the night of Black Friday, 1987. He must depend on his lucky streak to get him out of trouble time and again, or face the life-altering consequences of his actions.
Lucky Duck is a comedic crime novel perfect if you’re looking for something with the flavor of a John Hughes film from those 80s and 90s tomes like Risky Business or Breakfast Club.
