Description

Format: Paperback, 336pp. ISBN: 0446678694 Publisher: Warner Books, Incorporated Pub. Date: July 2002 Publisher "On a Hollywood studio lot a dancing bear does a little pick-pocketing on the side. In San Francisco the repo men of Daniel Kearny Associates are on a nonstop campaign to repossess twenty-seven classic cars from twenty-seven people who will go to classic lengths to keep them. And in a fortress in the Big Sur wilderness a rich man vows to steal an ultraprecious collectors' item. Soon the dancing bear, DKA, and the millionaire will entangle in a twisted plot of betrayal and murder." "It all starts when the dancing bear - actually a full-blooded Gypsy in a fur suit - is unceremoniously killed. Now the police are searching for the bear's beautiful Gypsy wife, Yana. At the request of the Gypsy King, whose honorable world of thievery does not tolerate murder, the men and women of DKA also look for her. But the seductive, ever-changing Yana is eluding them all, and working on a new grift of her own." Meanwhile, the tribe raises cash for a mass pilgrimage to the holy city of Rome - just in time for the Jubilee celebration and a feast of tourists. And while a crime wave is erupting in California, while the cops are distracted by their hunt for Yana and every head is turned in the wrong direction, a helicopter is beating its way to Big Sur, carrying the greatest scam of all.
