It was an accident - Jeremy Cameron

Nicky Burkett is a small-time criminal. He doesn't object to the adjective, because a small-time criminal is less likely to attract attention from people who object to the noun.

But nothing seems to go right for him. It Was an Accident opens with Nicky newly released from prison and intending-seriously!-to go straight, if for no other reason than that his wife demands it. But when you run in circles like his, well, it's hard. He gets attacked. His friends get attacked. He hightails it to Jamaica . . . and gets attacked again. So he decides to fight back.

The second book in a series that is rapidly becoming a cult favorite, this is a startlingly original, brilliantly funny crime novel sure to captivate fans of masters like Elmore Leonard and Donald Westlake.
