Rent in New Metta is through the cavern ceiling. When Granu barely survives her first gig teaching students who attempt to fillet her for lunch, the baby-eating troll ends up unemployed and facing eviction. Granu’s only prospect for income is grueling work in the tar pits.
That is, until her playboy best friend devises a perfect, if suicidal, scheme — a heist! The Covered Bridge, the largest source of income for the city, has New Metta well under hoof. In a week, TCB Corporation pulls in enough cash to buy a small country. It’s the ideal target, but security is top-notch. Granu needs three things to survive this heist: a crew of specialists, impenetrable sun protection, and gallons of grog.
There’s just one thing Granu doesn’t plan for — those damn meddling billy goats.

Sarah J. Sover’s Top 10 Classic Heist Flicks Referenced in Double-Crossing the Bridge
One of my favorite parts of writing Double-Crossing the Bridge was binging classic heist flicks with a good beer and my husband. For my own entertainment, I hid over 20 easter eggs throughout the book, but I lost my master list! I’ve only been able to rediscover 13 of them, and nobody ever took me up on a competition to find the others. Here are my favorites. 10) Ocean’s Eleven This fun gateway had to make the list considering the way it opens up so many conversations about my book. 9) The Bank Job It may not technically be a classic, but it’s based on a true story, and that makes it awesome. 8) The Usual Suspects So many questions, such great visual story-telling! This movie provided inspiration for the cover of Double-Crossing the Bridge. 7) The Asphalt Jungle Oh, the noir. It speaks to my heart. 6) The Hot Rock I must confess, I enjoyed the Westlake book more than the movie. But this story was integral to the development of the pacing for Double-Crossing the Bridge. 5) Reservoir Dogs Tarantino heist. I don’t need to say more. 4) Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels I’m a sucker for all things dark and funny, so of course this gem made the list. 3) The Sting This beauty helped cement the concept of the great caper for me. “I don’t know enough about killing to kill him.” Freaking fantastic. 2) Snatch Snatch was a family favorite long before our binge sessions and was part of what hooked me on the heist genre. My husband and I quote it all the time, and the kids have no idea what we’re talking about. 1) Hudson Hawk So many people missed the brilliance of this masterpiece. It’s everything I want in a heist flick: Action, Intrigue, and Hilarity. I’m dumbfounded at the low rating on Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB. What is wrong with you people?!
