Alan Grofield is a part-time actor and part-time thief. When working on a heist with a guy named Parker, he's all business. On his own, he's ready for anything at all, especially if it involves a woman. The first time Grofield sees Belle Danemato at her villa in the Puerto Rican jungle, she makes him an offer he can readily refuse. The next time he sees her, she's dead. And her husband, mob boss B.G. Danemato, can't get it out of his head that Grofield is responsible. To get out of this alive, Grofield can take his chances against the mobster's men in the perilous depths of the rain forest or find the real killer without delay. B.G. expects blood, and he wants it yesterday.

"Entertaining and inventive - a welcome addition to Mr. Westlake's Dortmunder and Parker series." (B-O-T Editorial Review Board)
