An agent poses as a rich playboy-and winds up with a target on his back-in this thriller by the Edgar Award-nominated author. Oil baron Mike Donoghue is on a top-secret assignment for the US government. To protect the mission, someone needs to pose as a decoy-and that's where freelance agent Joe Gall comes in. Now, Gall must trade places with a man known for his wealthy, high-flying lifestyle and his love of drink and beautiful women. It's a role the operative doesn't mind stepping into-the only problem is someone wants the real Donoghue dead . . . "[Philip Atlee is] the John D. MacDonald of espionage fiction." -Larry McMurtry, The New York Times "I admire Philip Atlee's writing tremendously." -Raymond Chandler
