An Unfortunate Outcome (Jamie Ballard books, #6) / Jamie Ballard books (ePub)

Twenty-odd years ago, a robbery took place that ended in, An Unfortunate Outcome. A murder of a husband and father left a scar on the family concerned. Unfortunately, the items that were taken never really yielded large amounts of reward for the people involved, and so, the whole episode was a sorry tale of tragedy and waste. Fast forward twenty-odd years, and a pure coincidence throws up a painting onto the market in a blind auction bid.

News travels fast in the criminal underworld, and soon a race against time to protect a now burgeoning empire springs into action. Two would-be gangsters with a fearsome reputation to uphold decide to put to bed their fingerprint on a past heist gone wrong. It sounds like a simple task. That is until you throw Jamie Ballard into the mix and his companions Vinny Tedburn and Harry 'H' Reynolds.

It seems that Jamie Ballard's proclivity for mishaps and wrong time, wrong place decisions, keep lobbing a curveball into his life. Even his patience is tested to the limits of human endurance when a chance situation throws him and Vinny into a wardrobe together as they try and hide away from rage, passion, and a certain level of a woman's scorn.

Once again, a certain level of silliness and stupidity earmark this as another Jamie Ballard misadventure. Coupled with a level of underhanded deceit and bad taste, and once again, it's showtime for Jamie Ballard and friends.

After all, life is for living and, in Jamie Ballard's case, for being an idiot.
