An action-packed whodunit set in San Juan by the crime fiction master and author of Point Blank. "A book by this guy is a cause for happiness" (Stephen King).

Part-time actor-thief Alan Grofield has had his share of odd gigs, including a number of dangerous heists with a certain ruthless criminal named Parker. But nothing has been as dangerous, or as mystifying, as when he somehow finds himself playing bodyguard to a rich, demanding woman who's in the midst of divorcing a notorious mobster.

Holed up in her isolated jungle villa, Grofield can't help wondering how he got there. Then someone gets murdered at the house, and Grofield's job gets a lot more complicated. The second Alan Grofield novel by Donald E. Westlake writing as Richard Stark The Dame is a rare Westlake take on a whodunit, features a cast of colorful characters and a suspenseful -- and memorable -- climax.
This edition includes a new foreword by Sarah Weinman.
