Would you be wary if someone gave you the assignment of delivering five million dollars to a Philippine terroristnever mind from whom or why? Booth Stallings, a terrorism expert just fired from his job at a bashful organization that never admitted its mount in the Washington merry-go-round, is wary. So wary that he cuts in con man Otherguy Overby, who in turn involves Artie Wu, pretender to the throne of China, and his partner, Quincy Durant. Obviously, good patriots dont want to hand over all that money to bad guys. Better they keep it for themselves. Which inevitably raises the question: Who among them will end up with the money?
The award-winning author of the bestselling Briarpatch delivers a brilliant, highly acclaimed new thriller about an American con man embroiled in a multimillion-dollar plot to overthrow the Aquino government. "Mr. Thomas has never been more devious and duplicitous."--The New Yorker.

"Booth Stallings, 60-year-old Washington expert on terrorism and perennial drunk," is fired from his job, but Georgia Blue plans to deliver $5 million to rebels in the Philippine jungle, and Stallings, Otherguy Overby, Artie Wu, and Stallings' sidekick Durant "have other destinations in mind."--Audio cassette container.

Charged with delivering five million dollars to a Philippine terrorist, Booth Stallings enlists a team of assistants, including Los Angeles detectives Artie Wu and Quincy Durant, to help perform the important job, but the group decides to steal the money, instead
