Out on the Rim

Ross Thomas: Out on the Rim (USA 2003)

From the Publisher:
Would you be wary if someone gave you the assignment of delivering five million dollars to a Philippine terrorist - never 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 don't 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?

Ross Thomas: Out on the Rim. Introduction by Donald E. Westlake. St. Martin's Press, ISBN: 0312290594 (January, 2003), 336 p., $13.95.

Out on the Rim

Ross Thomas: Out on the Rim (UK 1989)

From the Publisher:
Shadowy financial interests want to funnel five million dollars to hard-core rebels in the Philippine mountains in order to fund a violent revolt against the Cory Aquino government. Their courier is Booth Stallings, who fought by the rebel leader's side during World War II. Stallings is not much interested in Philippine power struggles, but he's deeply interested in five million dollars.

In order to re-route the cash to his own pocket, Stallings must first recruit the help of some inventive con-artists; the wily Artie Wu, pretender to the throne of China, and his unpredictable partner Quincey Durant.

But the money-men have set up their own obstacle for him - she is Georgia Blue, the toughest lady bodyguard in Washington...

Add to this complex brew an assortment of killings and you have the most ingenious, fast-paced thriller ever penned by Ross Thomas.
