Ray Midge’s wife has run off with a man named Dupree, and they have stolen his car and his credit cards in the process. This is complicated enough, but there are further entanglements. Dupree is his wife’s ex-husband. He and Midge are friends, of a kind. Also Dupree is out of jail on a bail bond that Ray has helped arrange. With reluctance, Ray determines he must set off from his comfortable home in Little Rock and venture across the Mexican border to Honduras in an effort to set matters straight. A clean very presentable copy.
