Publisher's summary

“Welcome to the National Recovery Bureau, where your assets are as sacred as God’s holy word.”

Vera “Nick” Nicholson is an overtaxed and underpaid attorney wasting away on the bottom rung of the gilded ladder at Turner, Witherspoon, Anders, and Tyler, PA in Winston-Salem, NC. When a high-priced luxury car belonging to one of the firm’s top clients goes missing, Nick gets saddled with the unenviable job of recovering the vehicle - and its mysterious contents - without involving the cops. Enter Fast Eddie and his quirky band of misfits at the National Recovery Bureau, a repo agency located in a sleepy town called K-Vegas.

When Nick is unceremoniously furloughed from TWAT, she throws caution to the wind and signs on to become the newest agent of the NRB, teaming up with moonlighting third-grade schoolteacher Frances “Frankie” Stohler. Frankie’s mortician father and beautician mother are stalwarts of the Winston-Salem community - so it’s no surprise that everyone across three counties has some connection to her family. What is surprising, however, is the Slim Jim Frankie carries in her purse and her preternatural talent for jacking cars.

Nick and Frankie’s stumbling entry into the surreal world of asset recovery takes them on a hilarious, fast-paced, and mind-bending journey across the back roads and byways of the Tar Heel state, setting into motion a chain of misadventures that lead them both toward financial independence, cataclysmic legal jeopardy, and the discovery that true love can sometimes lurk in the most unlikely places.

The Big Tow

The title was a mystery to me until I started to listen. Follow Nick and Frankie on their hilarious antics as they become repo drivers. Laugh out loud moments in typical Ann McMan fashion. So great I’ll probably listen to it again!

Very Entertaining

If u have read any of Ann McMans JERICO series you will be pleased that this story follows in her same enjoyable manner. All the characters are entertaining
With their quick quips back and forth giving you many fun chuckles. In this story I actually enjoyed the supporting characters more than the the two MCs.
Their is a romance but that’s not really the main attention. No steamy sexual descriptions which is ok and a nice change from most lesbian fiction. I enjoyed the humor of the characters. Very down to earth fiction. I would look forward to a sequel if there is one.

Highly recommended for relaxing and funny story.
Worth a credit.

(Narration is terrific)

Another great story from Ann McMan

such a unique premise and two highly likeable main characters with McMan's strong supporting characters is a winner. Christine Williams's performance was stellar.

Ann McMan does it again!

The Big Tow is a hilarious, well crafted story, with witty yet relatable characters you would love to meet in real life who have you laughing out loud many times. A great romance that tickles the funny bone along the way. And as always Christine Williams does a fabulous job with her narration.

As always Ann McMan delivers. Christine Williams is phenomenal, I felt like I was apart of the story. Hoping there is more to Nick and Frankie’s story.
