Description

The odd thing about Walter Schoen is he's a dead ringer for Heinrich Himmler. Walter is a member of a spy ring that sends US war production data to Germany and gives shelter to escaped German prisoners of war.

Honey Deal, Walter's American wife, has given up trying to make him over as a regular guy. She decides it's time to stop telling him jokes he doesn't understand and get a divorce.

Along comes Carl Webster, the Hot Kid of the Marshals Service, looking for an escaped POW. Carl uses Honey to meet Walter, who Carl believes is hiding the POW. Honey's a free spirit; she likes the hot kid marshal and doesn't care much that he's married. But all Carl wants is to do his job without getting shot...

Reviews

"* 'The next time the members of the Swedish Academy think about giving the Nobel Prize for literature to an American, they should take a look at Elmore Leonard' - Philadelphia Inquirer * 'Elmore Leonard is the crime-writer's crime-writer, king of all he surveys. For sharp plots and spot-on-dialogue, he's in a different league' - Ian Rankin * 'The crime laureate' - Independent"
