Philip Kerr: A Five Year Plan (USA 1998) From the Publisher: 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. Philip Kerr: A Five Year Plan. A Thriller. Henry Holt, ISBN: 0805051767 (June, 1998), 337 p., $23.00.

Philip Kerr: A Five Year Plan (UK 1997) From the Publisher: The price of Dave Delano's silence (plus interest) is $319,060, tax free, less 10% for his lawyer's management services. And now he's out the price could mean Delano should keep his mouth shur for ever... But those five years in Miami's Homestead Correctional Center have not been wasted. Delano has discovered a flair for languages, has read everything from Dostoevsky to Kierkegaard and comes out in the kind of physical condition that means his trousers are too big and his coat too small. He's also had time to develop a plan, a plan that could net him a lot more than his silence. But given that the seed money comes from the mob, in the person of "Naked" Tony Nucl (the man who should have been doing time in Homestead), Dave Delano's five year plan places him in exteme personal danger. 'Kerr's is the sort of crime writing in which ideas really dazzle and move the reader... clever, tighdy plotted, well-written and full of good jokes' The Times Literary Supplement Philip Kerr: A Five Year Plan. Hutchinson, ISBN: 0091801656 (October, 1997), 337 p., $£15.99.
