A phony hit man extorts money from his targets to keep them alive -- a lucrative and relatively safe gig until some of his supposed "victims" start showing up alive. Then he has to hit the road to escape retribution from the gang that hired him, but not before his neighbors, Buster Hightower and his lady-love Carla Chance, throw their lot in with him to help him elude his nefarious pursuers. Madcap adventures ensue in this first of the Buster Hightower mysteries, featuring a stand-up comic who refuses to use blue language but never met a lawyer joke he didn't love. Gary Alexander's dry humor and smart plotting shine in this zany caper reminiscent of It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World combined with classic comedic whodunnits.
