New York: Doubleday, (1993) dj. Hardcover first edition - The author's third crime novel, the story of a small time hood who robs a mom-and-pop store of $300,000 of the Scorcese crime family's money. . . Through a front man, the Scorceses hire PIs Abe and Izzy Stein to find Misty, an effort complicated a bit by Izzy's renewed passion for his old flame, Molly, Misty's mother. In Colorado, Misty hooks up with cute, amoral Leslie Ann Rice and they fly to Hawaii, where she and her feckless ex-con father try to figure out how to best separate Misty from the money. The chase climaxes with most of the leading actors on the eponymous island paradise, and the ending is not happy for anyone. . . . a fast, intricate, often funny thriller, and if most characters aren't nice, even the most minor players are vivid and believable."
