Pain & Gain

By Pete Collins

Book Overview

Muscles & drugs Muscles & girls Muscles & money What could go wrong? Daniel Lugo and Noel Adrian Doorbal were simple men: all they wanted--at first--was to be more pumped than the next guys, to own the workout floor, to look good. But then these pals, who worked as personal trainers at Miami's Sun Gym, got a little itchy. The flash and cash flaunted by some of their clients was tempting.... so tempting....and wouldn't it be a piece of cake to get it for themselves? The Sun Gym Gang's no-fail extortion scheme turned pretty crazy pretty fast. A half-dozen kidnapping attempts eventually netted an actual abduction, and kidnapping turned to murder, and then murder gone haywire, when one of Delgado and Lugo's victims, who had been drugged, tortured and set up for death-by-car-crash, managed not only to live but to escape. But even then, the Sun Gym Gang didn't get the message: they moved down their list of victims to murder a Golden Beach millionaire and his drop-dead (and soon she would be just that) Hungarian girlfriend, and then paraded around South Beach in the guy's bright yellow Lamborghini practically under the nose of the Miami-Dade County police. What would it take for these boneheads to get caught? Because they would get caught.... Based on the remarkable true story of an overgrown gang of America's dumbest criminals, PAIN & GAIN is now a hilarious, dark, pumped-up movie from action director Michael Bay.
