The big get-even / Paul Di Filippo, read by Keith Szarabajka, 345 pgs.
Glen McClinton had a drug problem that he was funding by stealing from his clients. He ended up disbarred and after a prison sentence, is out trying to get his life back together. He is out one night and saves a guy from an overdose. Months later, this guy looks him up. Stan is also an ex-con, actually got out the day he ODed. Stan is now clean again and recruiting Glen for a big scam to get even with the guy who allowed him to go to prison. To pull this off, they end up re-opening a lodge that had been closed for years to get their mark to believe the land is worth much more than it actually is worth. The scam ends up being a lot of work and along the way, there is a quirky group of locals who work for the lodge. Everyone keeps moving things forward and having a lot of casual hook-ups. In the end, do they pull off the deal? You will have to read (or listen) if you want to know.
