A crime thriller book that follows a 'Bonnie and Clyde' type story set in the modern era.This book relates a gripping modern day 'Bonnie and Clyde' story. It is a tale showing how a couple chose the path of crime - but in this case, it was to address global inequality and poverty. For John and Sarah, the means really do justify the end. They have chosen to steal from the richest in an attempt to end the suffering of the poorest. But as the day of their casino heist draws nearer, so do the police investigators bent on stopping them. What is more, with a shadowy organisation lurking close behind, John and Sarah realise that the stakes are much bigger than they thought. Good Intentions is both exciting and entertaining in its pursuit of some of the greatest problems that face our time.

`This debut novel brings refreshing modernity to the traditional `Bonnie and Clyde' tale. John and Sarah are two idealists, who have taken the road of crime in an attempt to pursue their mission of combating world poverty. The book opens with a daring bank heist, before progressing to a series of events that culminate in a clash between different forces. There is some interesting perspectives speckled across the chapters, some of which risk detracting from the story, but overall the plot is rich, fast and gripping.' - Jillian Dawn
