At the end of TWELVE STEP FANDANGO, Martin Brock, the book's hilarious anti-hero, escaped by jumping on a ship bound for Africa. Now in Morocco, we join him as he runs at full pelt through the streets of Marrakesh being pursued by an angry restaurateur. Saved by a rather camp ex-military American who thinks he can put Martin's talents for canny deception and extravagant bullshitting to good use, Martin accepts a job in Florida. There the two of them set to work on a brilliant scam that could see them sharing millions of dollars of gold coins. Their plan cannot possiby fail, unless of course the foils of love, snakes, a murderous ex-husband and the American's peculiar past get in the way . . .

Martin lives just in from the Costa, dealing to get by, but dreaming of expanding his business. When an old acquaintance turns up and then dies, leaving behind five kilos of coke, Martin realises his dream could come true - without him having to do any work. Then the owners of the coke turn up.
