Paperback. The Low Bar by Bryan Jones is what happens when ambition, incompetence, organized crime, corrupt baseball, stolen cemetery flowers, and one deeply unqualified adult collide in modern-day St. Louis.Welcome to a world where: - A recently released prison chef believes fear is a seasoning. - A real estate shark buys a bar as a Christmas present (because socks are for peasants). - An ethically flexible car salesman considers grave-robbing a romantic gesture. - An FBI agent is knee-deep in a gang called the Black Mambas. - And absolutely no one is remotely as smart as they think they are.At the center of it all is a ramshackle neighborhood bar that looks one cigarette away from being condemned. It has neon beer signs, questionable bookkeeping, and a clientele that treats illegal transactions like happy hour specials. When big money starts moving through the basement safe, everyone wants a cut - including people who probably shouldn't be trusted with scissors, let alone organized crime.This is not a story about masterminds.This is a story about overconfidence.It's about men who think they're sharks but are actually raccoons fighting over a trash can full of cocaine. It's about lawyers who quote French political philosophy while enabling felonies. It's about pinball enthusiasts who take their hobby more seriously than federal agents take undercover work. And it's about what happens when people with wildly inflated self-belief discover that consequences are real and paperwork is forever.The humor is sharp. The pace is relentless. The characters are spectacularly flawed in ways that feel almost heroic. Every conversation teeters between brilliance and disaster. Every plan sounds airtight until someone opens their mouth.Think crime caper meets workplace comedy meets "this can't possibly get worse" - and then it does.If you enjoy: Criminal enterprises run like family dinnersFast dialogue and faster bad decisionsCharacters who weaponize confidence despite overwhelming evidence they shouldn'tMorally questionable romanceAnd a general sense that adulthood is mostly improvisation.then welcome to The Low Bar.Pull up a stool.Order something strong.And remember: when expectations are low, it's amazing how much damage you can still do. In The Low Bar by Bryan Jones, a ramshackle St. Louis bar becomes ground zero for money laundering, gang deals, and spectacularly bad decisions-proving confidence is cheap, but consequences are not.

The Low Bar by Bryan Jones is what happens when ambition, incompetence, organized crime, corrupt baseball, stolen cemetery flowers, and one deeply unqualified adult collide in modern-day St. Louis.
Welcome to a world where:
- A recently released prison chef believes fear is a seasoning.
- A real estate shark buys a bar as a Christmas present (because socks are for peasants).
- An ethically flexible car salesman considers grave-robbing a romantic gesture.
- An FBI agent is knee-deep in a gang called the Black Mambas.
- And absolutely no one is remotely as smart as they think they are.
At the center of it all is a ramshackle neighborhood bar that looks one cigarette away from being condemned. It has neon beer signs, questionable bookkeeping, and a clientele that treats illegal transactions like happy hour specials. When big money starts moving through the basement safe, everyone wants a cut - including people who probably shouldn't be trusted with scissors, let alone organized crime.
This is not a story about masterminds.
This is a story about overconfidence.
It's about men who think they're sharks but are actually raccoons fighting over a trash can full of cocaine. It's about lawyers who quote French political philosophy while enabling felonies. It's about pinball enthusiasts who take their hobby more seriously than federal agents take undercover work. And it's about what happens when people with wildly inflated self-belief discover that consequences are real and paperwork is forever.
The humor is sharp. The pace is relentless. The characters are spectacularly flawed in ways that feel almost heroic. Every conversation teeters between brilliance and disaster. Every plan sounds airtight until someone opens their mouth.
Think crime caper meets workplace comedy meets "this can't possibly get worse" - and then it does.
If you enjoy:
- Criminal enterprises run like family dinners
- Fast dialogue and faster bad decisions
- Characters who weaponize confidence despite overwhelming evidence they shouldn't
- Morally questionable romance
- And a general sense that adulthood is mostly improvisation
...then welcome to The Low Bar.
Pull up a stool.
Order something strong.
And remember: when expectations are low, it's amazing how much damage you can still do.

Derecho al desistimiento
Si es un consumidor, puede rescindir el contrato de acuerdo con lo siguiente. Por consumidor se entiende cualquier persona física que actúe con fines ajenos a su actividad comercial, empresarial, oficio o profesión.
Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.
Deberá devolver los bienes o entregarlos a CitiRetail, Stevenage, United Kingdom, sin demoras indebidas y, en cualquier caso, en un plazo máximo de 14 días a partir del día en que nos comunique su desistimiento del presente contrato. El plazo se cumple si devuelve la mercancía antes de que venza el periodo de 14 días. Tendrá que asumir los gastos directos de devolución de los bienes. Usted solo es responsable de la disminución del valor de los bienes como resultado de una manipulación distinta a la necesaria para establecer la naturaleza, las características y el funcionamiento de los bienes.
