“CRUISING CROOKS!”

Some escapes are planned with military precision. This one was planned with a deck of cards and a prayer.


When a group of prison inmates hatch a scheme to escape aboard a luxury cruise ship, what could possibly go wrong? Everything. And that’s exactly what makes it unforgettable.

Cruising Crooks is a comedic crime novel that follows a cast of hilariously mismatched characters as they trade prison walls for ocean waves — only to discover that freedom comes with its own set of complications. Packed with unexpected twists, laugh-out-loud moments, and a finale that sets the stage for what comes next, this is Lewis Smith Books at its most entertaining.


If you’ve ever rooted for the underdog — even when the underdog probably deserves to be in prison — this is your book.
