Wow! Loved this book. A few loose ends left me wondering why they were introduced in the first place like Olive being their safe phrase—was it Lee’s first “girl” name? Grey cap being an ex-fed or some other info Lee said making him rage—why did we not get the robbers’ stories? The man who was shot—did he die?
