New York: Pantheon, (2004) dj. SIGNED hardcover first edition - An off-beat but very entertaining novel. "Frank Thorpe is set to board a plane at LAX for a much-needed vacation when he sees an obviously poor young boy knocked out of the way and senseless by an arrogant businessman rushing to a waiting Porsche.
Frank has just been fired - over a fatal screw up - from the covert operations 'shop' heÕs worked at for years. But Douglas Meachum - a hard-charging art dealer - needs to be made to feel something more than entitlement: nothing extreme, just a little wake-up call. . . but what started out as a good (if slightly underhanded) deed quickly - and violently - veers out of control."
