Meh. Not one of his better ones. Started out good, with an ex-con working in a funeral parlor conspiring with an ex-nun to rip-off a Contra colonel of the millions he was raising for his death squads. But it just sort of petered out, like he ran out of ideas. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0877958416, Hardcover)

Working at his brother-in-law's New Orleans funeral home isn't reformed jewel thief Jack Delaney's idea of excitement -- until he's dispatched to a leper's hospital to pick up a corpse that turns out to be very much alive ... and under the care of a beautiful, radical ex-nun in designer jeans. The "deceased" is the one-time squeeze of a Nicaraguan colonel who's ordered her dead for trying to "infect" him, and Sister Lucy's looking to spirit the young woman away from his guns and goons. Plus Lucy's getting ideas about spiriting away some of the colonel's millions as well -- and someone with Jack Delaney's talents could come in very handy indeed.
