About This Item
New York, NY, U.S.A.: Perfect Crime/Doubleday., 1992. First Edition, First Printing 1st Printing. Hardcover. As New/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Signed and dated by author on title page. Meet Del Rebus, a glib, tough ex-con dreaming of a quick score, not only for the money but as a bizarre settling of accounts. Breezing into balmy Phoenix, with his somewhat reluctant partner, Elvis Mahoney, Del encounters an easy mark, the kind of target con artists dream about. But what quickly develops is a nightmare, one that Del boldly--or is it foolishly?--gambles he can turn to his advantage. It begins quietly, but dangerously, on a thoroughfare in Queens. Mob don Joseph Scorcese is almost the fatal victim of assassination--an attempt so botched as to be darkly comic. While Joe departs for Phoenix to recuperate under the supervision of his youngest son, Paul, the question remains: Who ordered the hit? Looking for the answer--and also left in charge of the family business--is Angelo, Joe's somewhat dimmer son, a man with lots on his small mind, only one of them his stunning and ambitious wife, Mai Lee. Two different worlds are headed for a collision course where only one--or none--can win. FLAMINGOS sizzles with piercing dialogue, rapid-fire plotting, and the electricity of conflicting passions, even as it explores the dark side of the American Dream: the delusions and obsessions that fuel it, the air of menace men breathe in pursuit of it, and the look of it, ultimately, from the wrong end of a gun. FLAMINGOS is the second novel by the author of SCRATCH. As new, in fine, mylar-protected dust jacket.
