Joe Gores: 32 Cadillacs (USA 1992) From the Publisher: It begins in the small Iowa town of Steubenville, where a seemingly respectable citizen takes a head-over-heels tumble on a department store escalator. As if on cue, Cadillacs -- 31 in all -- start disappearing from lots in the San Francisco Bay area, as a team of scam artists use phone fraud, bank fraud, and pure criminal genius to do one California bank out of $1.3 million worth of Detroit's finest. The bank wants those cars back, and turns to Daniel Kearny Associates to get it done. Rockjawed, relentless Dan Kearny puts his best agents, as well as two new ones, on the case. It doesn't take long for Kearny's team to find out what they're up against: Gyppos. Con artists, scammers, liars, thieves and dangerous charmers, Gypsies are one nation united in street crime. And since the escalator fall has mortally wounded their beloved King, they've decided to get to his funeral in Cadillac style. But there's one more Cadillac to contend with: the shocking pink 1958 Cadillac ragtop convertible the dying leader insists on being buried in. The Gypsy who can get his hands on one is sure to be the next King... or Queen. ADVANCE PRAISE FOR JOE GORES AND 32 CADILLACS "This excellent novel about Gypsy confidence games and Gypsy scamming, Gypsy cleverness and Gypsy charm, could only have been written by a Gypsy. Now we know the truth about Joe Gores' ancestors." -- Paco Ignacio Taibo II, author of Some Clouds and president of the International Association of Crime Writers "Joe Gores shows you just how much fun a Gypsy can have stealing a Cadillac, and how much more fun a repoman can have stealing it back. Everybody has fun in this book. I don't get to use the word 'rollicking' very often, but now's my chance. 32 CADILLACS is a rollicker if I've ever seen one. It rollicks all over the place." -- Lawrence Block, author of A Dance at the Slaughterhouse, winner of the 1992 Edgar Allan Poe Award for Best Mystery Novel Joe Gores: 32 Cadillacs. A DKA File Novel. Mysterious Press, ISBN: 0892962984 (December, 1992), 338 p., $18.95.
