Description

A stunning novel by a master of suspense in which a naive young man with a head for numbers teams up with a veteran fraud investigator on a cross country chase . In a startling turnabout the pursuers become the pursued. A compulsive read which does for insurance rackets what Elmore Leonard did for Detroit or Dick Francis did for horse racing. (This is a stand-alone novel, not one of the Jane Whitefields.)
