Donald R. Westland (Introduction by)
Would you be wary if someone gave you the assignment of delivering five million dollars to a Philippine terrorist–never mind from whom or why? Booth Stallings, a terrorism expert just fired from his job at a bashful organization that never admitted its mount in the Washington merry-go-round, is wary. So wary that he cuts in con man Otherguy Overby, who in turn involves Artie Wu, pretender to the throne of China, and his partner, Quincy Durant. Obviously, good patriots don’t want to hand over all that money to bad guys. Better they keep it for themselves. Which inevitably raises the question: Who among them will end up with the money?
Author Biography

Thomas died in 1995, and since then all but one of his twenty-five novels have gone out of print. This should never have happened to the man of whom The New Yorker has said, Very as consistently fewer can match him for style and power. St. Martin’s Minotaur is proud to remedy this situation by reissuing Thomas’s novels.
