Synopsis
Francis Meehan, the likable antihero of this political thriller, is an erudite thief who's been hired by some crooked campaign officials to steal a videotape that has the potential to cause a scandal for an incumbent presidential candidate.

Thickness:0.8 in.
Weight:15.2 oz.

Publisher's Note
While awaiting sentencing at the Manhattan Correctional Center, Meehan, a career thief, is approached by a man, posing as his lawyer, who represents the presidential re-election campaign and offers to have all criminal charges against Meehan dropped if he does them one favor--steal a compromising video tape before it wreaks havoc on the president's life.

Industry reviews
"Depicting professional crooks as being more honorable than politicians might seem a little too easy. But Westlake carries it off nicely, and rounds out the tale with a colorful supporting cast. Meehan's gun-toting female lawyer is an especially strong addition."
San Francisco Chronicle - David Lazarus (04/14/2002)

"This beautifully engineered, mile-a-minute model of comic invention is such a pleasure to hop on and whiz along with for 247 pages that it hardly matters that real-life Washington presidential-campaign top guns, while often a bit thick, are never this dumb."
Washington Post Book World - Richard Lipez (04/21/2002)

"[A] great caper, fast-cut and facetious..."
Los Angeles Times Book Review - Eugen Weber (06/16/2002)

MY #! GOAL is to give my customers/buyers the best service and items that I can. I work hard on my listings and acquiring the items for you. I try to be HONEST and TO DESCRIBE the item accurately to the best of my ability. I sell mostly used items rarely new items. If there is a problem with my description of an item please contact me immediately. I will answer you as soon as I possibly can.

During the holiday season it may take a bit longer, last year both my husband and I were exhausted most of the time.  Even so we still try to stick to our rules and ship within 1 business day after we receive cleared payment.

As SHIPPING TIME as I previously stated we ship with in 1 business day, but once your item is in the hands of the POST OFFICE I have no control over the item.  During the Holiday Season you may want to try and order a bit sooner.

Normally one or the other of us is on the computer between the hours of 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM eastern time. Monday thru Friday. We are 68 but we try to stick to this schedule as much as we can.  Please take into consideration that we too have DOCTOR”S APPOINTMENTS

 

NON-DELIVERY CLAIMS

I ship via confirmed USPS Mail so I can track all shipments to ensure delivery and to prevent fraudulent claims.  Most of my customers are wonderful and honest people (I have lots of repeat buyers) but occasionally there are the few that try to ruin it for the rest of us faithful EBAYERS! If you do not receive your item with in two weeks you should contact me or use the trace number that we send you to see where the item is located. Usually when the POST OFFICE is contacted the problem is resolved.

ALL SAID AND DONE, I FIND THAT ALMOST  99.9% OF MY CUSTOMERS/BUYERS ARE VERY WONDERFUL, HONEST PEOPLE SUCH AS MY HUSBAND AND I ARE!  THIS IS TO COVER THAT TINY PER CENTAGE OUT THERE THAT DO NOT PLAY BY THE RULES!!!!!  THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING AND YOUR INTEREST IN “CRAZY BARB’S BOOKS” I AM SURE THAT YOU WILL FIND SHOPPING WITH US A GREAT EXPERIENCE AND WE WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT WE WILL WORK HARD TO MAKE IT SO.   BARB
