Meet Michael Barnes, a Florida orange grower who finds himself in a Manhattan bar with a couple of hours to kill. It's a couple of hours that almost kill him, as he's swindled, robbed, framed for murder, and hunted down by an assassin in one of the wildest, scariet, funniest, fastest twenty-four hours ever packed into one novel.

From the acclaimed author of the 87th Precinct crime novels comes an outstanding new novel--a story by turns suspenseful and wildly humorous. Florida citrus grower Michael Barnes has his wallet and rental car stolen at a New York bar. Things go from bad to worse when the car turns up with a corpse in the trunk. Now he is hunted by both the cops and the mob.
