Synopsis

Three thousand miles. Eleven dollars. One bench warrant. And a Nazi who won't forget what Tim called him.
Tim Burne is eighteen, broke, and running out of places to disappear. A bench warrant waits in California. A drug charge that isn't his fault threatens to bury him for eighteen months. And the only direction left is east—chasing a cryptic postcard from an old friend who says hurry.
The road from Riverside to New York is supposed to be an escape. Instead, it becomes a gauntlet. Tim's van gets impounded in the Arizona desert. He sells his blood for bus fare. He meets Jenny in a drainage tunnel outside Phoenix, and together they hitchhike, hustle, and steal their way across an America that doesn't want them. But the word Tim spat at a skinhead in an El Paso record store follows them like a bullet. Francis Reeves is three hundred pounds of meth, God, and grudge, and he's put a price on their heads that every Nazi from Texas to Manhattan wants to collect.
By the time Tim and Jenny reach the Lower East Side squat where Bryan waits, the hunter has already arrived. The building is booby-trapped. The neighbors are armed. And the only cop who might help them is a bounty hunter who stopped believing in clean math twenty-four years ago.
In For A Penny is a road novel, a love story, and a war between the people society throws away and the ones who'd rather see them dead. It's about learning that running toward something beats running from everything—if you survive long enough to figure out the difference.
