About This Book
An American ex-serviceman vanishes in Manilla's sleazy after-hours scene, and a foreign businessman turns up dead at the same time.
Apparently both were customers at the same honky-tonk dive. One is a love sick loser, but the other is insured for 1.5 million dollars-which he aims to collect on his own body.
Enter femme fatale Lori MacMillan, who plays the grieving widow to perfection, smoothing the way to big pay-days, snaring those unfortunate enough to fall under her spell, including Peter, her jealous partner-in-crime, and a hapless American consul-a lonely star-crossed bureaucrat just fool enough to unwittingly expedite her ambitious scheme.
As Lori and Peter leave a trail of dupes and bodies from Manilla to LA to New York, they must reluctantly enter into a dangerous and unplanned alliance. Their new and volatile partnership is laced with double and triple-crosses where death is the only option for dissolution. Meanwhile a shadowy investigation is unfolding in the background.
