Excerpt from SON OF THE MOB 2: HOLLYWOOD HUSTLE
by Gordon Korman

Our real destination turns out to be a small surf-style boutique called Bad Shark. They sell exactly the same clothes as the stuff I bought at Old Navy. But they're triple the price, and here each item bears the Bad Shark logo, a caricature of a leering sea predator about to gobble up a mermaid of Baywatch-like proportions.

I buy half the store.

Trey helps me haul the bags out to the Mazda. "You're going to be the bomb," he assures me.

"I'm going to be a billboard for Bad Shark. I've even got the socks, for God's sake."

"And the shades." He reaches into the pocket of his open Hawaiian shirt and pulls out a pair of sleek steel-rimmed sunglasses with the ever-present Bad Shark on the temples. "To complete the effect."

I stare at him. "You didn't pay for those!"

"Sure I did."

"Show me the receipt."

He shrugs. "I didn't keep it. Come on, hombre, don't give me a hard time about getting my roommate a little 'welcome to L.A.' present."

I thank him, but I practically choke over it. I can't prove anything of course, but there's no way he paid for those sunglasses.

Like there isn't enough crime in my life already, my roommate is a kleptomaniac.
