Synopses & Reviews
When a handsome swindler working the French Riviera meets a beautiful heiress on the beach at Cannes, sparks fly. But so do bullets and soon he's forced to flee the country with both the police and the heiress on his trail.
From the casinos of Monaco to the jungles of Brazil, from Tangier to Marrakech to Peru, the chase is on. And not even a veteran of Monte Carlos baccarat tables would dare to place odds on where it will end...

"The pulp era may have been over, but Dodge was still writing like it was in full swing, peppering the story with snappy patter...curvy dames...and close calls...great fun." Booklist
