Crime Thriller Series
MEN WILL BE BOYS
A fast, funny, and dangerous crime comedy set under the neon lights of Las Vegas.
The Vegas Hustle
Las Vegas wasn’t built on sand dunes and buffets. The dreams of everyday people fuel the casinos and resorts. Everyone is looking for one more bet, one more hustle, and one more lie.
Men Will Be Boys, the comedic crime thriller series by author Torthell Robinson, drops readers into the dark, chaotic world of counterfeiting, oversized egos, and loyalty gone awry. Every new page is a spiral deeper into mistakes that pull the curtain back on a world few ever experience.
This book isn’t the polished luxury Vegas marketed to families. It’s the side alley behind the flashing lights where saying yes to an afterparty instead of running was most definitely a bad idea.
As part of the Book Collection by Torthell, this Las Vegas crime thriller series blends the dark humor you want with the flawed characters you cannot get enough of. There is betrayal, fast-paced storytelling, and elegant scene descriptions for people who love their fiction to be dangerous, gritty, and wildly entertaining.
If you enjoy a solid crime comedy thriller with chaotic antiheroes and witty dialogue, this is your next story.
