A Five-year Plan [signed] [first edition]

Is there a little larceny in your soul? Then this is for you: a caper novel with an it-could-happen plot and the explosive pace of an action adventure. Dave Delano didn't spend five years in prison idling away hard time. "I believe in the redistribution of wealth," he told one guard. But redistribution for Dave was strictly personal. His five-year plan aimed to put a million-five into his own pockets. In the former Soviet Union there are a million scams. Most lucrative is money-laundering. Refitting U.S. yachts to hide dirty dollars and shipping these across the Atlantic on transport ferries destined for Black Sea ports, the mob magically "disappears" its cash into Russian banks. Dave Delano thinks some of that money should be his. It's a simple matter of highjacking on the high seas. For the Colombian cartel, Europe is a magnet. But landing their coke is another matter. When FBI agent Kate Fury gets a hot tip they are shipping it in a hollowed-out yacht hull via transport ferry, she knows she's onto the biggest collar of her career. Boarding that ferry, she's set to pounce. But she hasn't counted on Dave Delano, who has his own personal agenda. The result is combustion: a fast and very funny romantic caper that will keep you guessing to the end.
