Synopsis

The return of Bonnie and Clyde. Saving democracy, one bank robbery at a time.
In the provocative "what-if" novel Resurrection Road, legendary outlaw lovers Bonnie and Clyde are given one last shot at redemption, when a shadowy organization forces the notorious duo to put their "skills" to use in the service of economic justice for the forgotten man. 
The story begins in 1984 when a reporter gets a tip to meet an old woman at a Texas cemetery. Cradling an antique rifle and standing over a freshly dug grave, the woman claims to be Bonnie Parker, 75 years old, there to bury the love of her life--who has just died--Clyde Barrow.  

Impossible, says the reporter. The murdering duo both died 50 years ago. 
But the woman insists that it wasn't Bonnie and Clyde who were ambushed and killed on that fateful day in 1934. Instead, the outlaws were kidnapped, forced into a covert life and given a desperate mission--save President Roosevelt from an assassination plot financed by industrialist fat cats determined to sink the New Deal policies. 
The story cuts back and forth between the modern era where the shocked reporter begins to investigate the potential scoop-of-the-century, and the dangerous undercover exploits of Bonnie and Clyde, as they are thrust into a fight to defend the working class against corporate greed during America's Great Depression. 
With reflections on a rigged economic system that still ring true, Resurrection Road tells a thrilling, page-turning tale, recasting the Bonnie and Clyde legend as a powerful parable about the new Gilded Age mirrored in today's economic landscape.
