Book description: Pocket. April 1, 1999. Paperback. Near Fine. Phillip Kerr, a bestselling author in his native U.K., has been called "Mic hael Crichton's smarter brother" due to his wide-ranging intelligence and t echnical knowledge. Dave Delano, the protagonist of this lively thriller, i s an American who's educated himself in prison--serving a sentence for a ma nslaughter he didn't commit. Newly fluent in Russian, he's intrigued by the idea of redistributing wealth, particularly the Mafia's. His plan is to hi jack a transatlantic transport ferry/yacht being used to smuggle drug money and to divert the dollars into his very own bank in the former Soviet Unio n. It all seems flawless until he meets another Grand Duke passenger who's looking to score: Kate Fury, a gorgeous FBI agent who's been tracking cocai ne from Colombia to Miami to the European playgrounds of the rich and expec ting the biggest collar of her career. What happens when they cross paths i s the stuff of a funny, violent, and oddly romantic caper. The plot twists fast enough to satisfy even die-hard Elmore Leonard fans and turns on doubl e dealing, false identities, and misunderstood motives, without letting the humor get in the way of the action.
