Four men waited on the narrow mountain road for the Cadillac carrying 341,890, the biweekly taking of a Mafia cell. Four men who had never failed in a heist before, on their fourteenth operation in three years: Shirillo, watching in the long grass; Pete Harris with a submachine gun; Bachman in the getaway car; and Mike Tucker, art dealer and professional thief; the perfectionist. As the big Cadillac slewed round the bend, none of them realized that this time Tucker had made a fatal miscalcuation that would plunge them all into a blood war against the Mafia.

In Surrounded Felton puts Tucker in touch with Frank Meyers. Meyers is looking to assemble a crew to rob a bank located in an exclusive shopping mall near Santa Monica, California. Along with safecracker Edgar Bates they plan to knock off the bank and a jewelry store while the mall is closed. After subduing the guards Tucker learns that Meyers wanted more than money from this heist. His actions bring the police, and now Tucker must figure out how to get them (and the money) out of the surrounded mall. This is the second of three novels under the Coffey pseudonym and the second of three featuring the same lead character, Michael Tucker.
