About This Item
[New York]: HarperCollins Publishers, [1998]., 1998. First edition. First edition. Signed. Fine in dust jacket lightly rubbed on rear panel. Phil Broker's naive ex-wife decides to blow the whistle on her husband, a St. Paul cop who moonlights as an informant for the Chicago mob. Unfortunately for her, she confides in a reporter who sees this as a way out of a dead-end life. After convincing her to give him the suitcase full of money that the mob has given her husband, she is killed. So what does the reporter do? He goes to The Big Law for protection and enters the Witness Protection Program. Now it's up to Phil to find out the truth.
Synopsis
When former cop Phil Broker's naive ex-wife, Caren, blows the whistle on her feckless second husband, Keith Angland, a St. Paul cop making a cool $2 million moonlighting for the Chicago mob, she unwittingly signs her own death warrant. Unwisely for Caren, she not only shared her troubles with Broker, she also told Tom James, a reporter with fantasies of pulling off the perfect crime. Inspired by the $2 million payoff she entrusted to his safekeeping, Tom kills Caren in a brilliant frame-up that leaves her crooked cop-husband to take the fall.Covering all the angles, Tom runs to the FBI -- "the Big Law" -- and wangles a new life in the Witness Protection Program. But Tom's perfect plan doesn't count on Broker. Hard-edged and relentless, Broker smells a rat and is determined to set things right. But to succeed, he's got to locate Tom -- a clever man with a new identity, a suitcase full of cash, and the Big Law on his side.
