THE BAKER TOUCH
When southern California is struck by a rash of identical perfect bank robberies, the FBI sends their best agent to investigate: Penny Baker.
Smart and beautiful, Penny Baker is known for staying cool even under fire. She never goes anywhere without her .38 Smith and Wesson Airweight, not even on a date.
Reluctantly partnered with a rookie FBI Agent fresh out of law school, Phil Grant, Penny's investigation uncovers some strange facts: All the robberies had the same M.O, but the descriptions of the robbers are different. At one bank they were black, at another white, at the third they were women. All of the robberies took place at the exact same time. How could this be?
When the investigation leads them into a vortex of violence, shootouts, car chases and fist fights, Phil discovers a frightening truth about Penny: She LIKES it. Penny Baker gets turned on by the 'criminal' side of FBI work.
Starting as enemies, turning to friends; Phil and Penny work together on the case and come up with the answer: bank robbery franchises. Someone is selling plans for the perfect bank robbery, and collecting a percentage of the take. The Betty Crocker Of Crime, with the recipe for larceny. Responsible for THOUSANDS of identical robberies across the country!
But how do you catch a Master Criminal who uses concepts from multi-level marketing so that he never meets his teams? How do you prove he's guilty of any crime?
Phil's by-the-book methods are given the ultimate test, when Penny Baker decides to change careers...
And become a bank robber.
"THE BAKER TOUCH" is a high speed crime thriller in the tradition of "Lethal Weapon", "Deep Cover" plus a dash of "Charlie's Angels" with a mixed gender team and edge of seat action all the way to the explosive conclusion.
