“Hain’t we got all the fools in town on our side? And ain’t that a big enough majority in any town?” — Mark Twain
But a good agent is always in demand, and just a few hours later Dye is being interviewed for a highly ingenious position. Victor Orcutt, although a not very good imitation of a British pre-war gent, has creative talents of his own. He has his sights a small southern city, with the ordinary run-of-the-mill corruption one would expect in such a place. The canny Orcott knows there’s no profit in that. His creed is “To get better, it must be much worse.” He and his two associates have looked up Dye’s history, and he now offers the ex-spy a mission: for two and a half times the government’s bounty, Dye is to thoroughly corrupt the town. And the sly Dye takes the offer.
Author Biography
Ross Thomas is ranked as one of the very top thriller writers by his fellow authors, and his readers loudly agree. Two Edgar Awards, and other prizes, only complement the abundant praise that Thomas has received.
Thomas died in 1995, and since then all but one of his twenty-five novels have gone out of print. This should never have happened to the man of whom The New Yorker has said “Very as consistently fewer can match him for style and power.” Minotaur is proud to remedy this situation by reissuing Thomas’s novels. So start reading, and prepare to join Ross Thomas’s legions of admiring of Pages: 384Dimensions: 1.1 x 8.5 x 5.5 INPublication Date: May 16, 2003
