Speedfitters by Scott Sweer

Book 101 Review

SpeedFitters arrives at an accident scene before an ambulance, deciding if your limbs will be re-attached. No insurance? No problem. Your limbs are sold off, but you get shiny-new SpeedFitters prosthetic at a 10% discount!

Working shootings and car accidents, Steven Kelly slops up limbs to keep a roof over his head. He wants the American dream, ridding himself of his divorced, one-room apartment existence.

With an abundance of limbs, the mean streets of Chicago have been good to Steven. And when he meets Lisa, true love has found him for the first time.

Chicago's windy city politics derail everything instituting sweeping laws, reducing speed limits on expressways below 100 mph and increasing police presence to reduce shootings.

It won't be long before the bank takes Steven's house once the parts pool dries up. And the back luck keeps coming--SpeedFitters cuts his health insurance, putting his new baby's kidney transplant on hold. Only a criminal boss--who's decided to process his competition--can save Steven's American dream. Is it an offer he can't refuse?
