This riveting and entertaining thriller by Thomas Perry follows a husband-and-wife con team on the run from the Mob, a soldier of fortune between jobs, a two-bit operator with grandiose dreams of tribal dynasty, a sultry CIA operative with divided loyalties, and the most dazzling defector ever to hurl a split-fingered fastball--twentieth-century buccaneers who wash up on a tiny island in the Caribbean and turn it into a multinational cash machine--but then the shooting starts. Somebody is trying to invade the island, and that somebody could be anybody: the CIA, NSC or IRS; the most powerful, corrupt bank in the U.S. or the South American cocaine mafia--or it could just be the Los Angeles incarnation of the devil himself, a shadowy figure with a checkered past named Fat Jimmy . . .

Seller's Description:
The author's fourth novel. 1st edition, 1st printing. 319 pp. Fine book (no markings, binding square and tight; a trace of toning to text block) / Fine dust jacket (price not clipped). A clean, fresh copy.
A gripping and hysterical story about a con man who builds an island in the Caribbean and takes advantage of its extraterritorial status. Perry told me there were some problems with promotion in the US and the book never got the attention (he and I thought) it deserved.
