In the aftermath of a bloody heist, Nolan and Jon find themselves flying home to count their ill-gotten gains--but a skyjacker taking the same flight has other plans. Meanwhile, in Des Moines, someone is offing members of the Mob-connected DiPreta family and the Mob thinks maybe Nolan can make it stop. Maybe he can--for a six-figure fee.

Softcover. London, Hard Case Crime, 1st thus, 2020, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, colorful wraps with a retro-style illustration by Paul Mann. In New York City, a movie critic has just murdered his girlfriend--well, one of his girlfriends (not to be confused with his wife). Will the unlikely crime-solving partnership he forms with the investigating police detective keep him from the film noir ending he deserves? On the opposite coast, movie star Dawn Devayne--the hottest It Girl in Hollywood--gets a visit from a Navy sailor who says he knew her when she was just ordinary Estelle Anlic of San Diego. Now she's a big star who's put her past behind her. But secrets have a way of not staying buried. These two short novels, one hilarious and one heartbreaking, are two of the best works Westlake ever wrote. And fittingly, both became movies--one starring Jack Ryan's Marie-Josee Croze, and one starring Fargo's William H. Macy and Desperate Housewives' Felicity Huffman. Like new.
