Still on the run following their big heist, Beth, Nina, and Orson are on a hellish road trip full of drugs and violence that might just break Orson for good. Meanwhile, Kretchmeyer is in pursuit, and we learn his first name -- Alec -- and find out some of his nasty back story. When I step back and look from it distance, it feels like the story is stretching out a bit too long at this point, but while I'm reading I just don't care as I get lost in the characters and dialogue.
