A comic tale of gangsters, first love and the crooked path to the straight and narrow.
Mercedes Bent is trying to go straight - if only her family weren't so crooked . . .
Mercedes has carved herself a nice little niche at the Daphne Pincher Academy for Young Ladies, running a sweepstake and taking bets on anything that moves. The only fly in her ointment is her arch-rival, gangster's daughter Harley "halitosis" Spinks. How come she's got the great work placement and Mercedes has ended up in a boring bank?
But things start to look up when Mercedes wangles a date with the bank's hottest young trainee, Zak - until she finds out that it's not just the Spinks gang who are into dodgy dealing; her own brothers are as crooked as a pair of corkscrews too! It's a safe bet that Mercedes will have to keep her family's illegal activities under wraps - if she's to have even an outside chance with the boy of her dreams . . .
