A heist at Heathrow Airport, inspired by an Agatha Christie plot, provides plenty of fast-paced thrills with a comic edge.''--Publishers Weely ''When a well-orchestrated drug bust by London police near Heathrow nets a truck-load of drugs but no dealers, Chief Inspector McEvoy uses carefully placed disinformation to lure them to a local, rundown police station. As police wait for the motley crew of ethnically and mentally diverse crooks to arrive, confederates of their targets inundate the station with bogus crime victims. Picturesque humor and witty one-liners punctuate the narrative, even when thoughts turn to theft of another type of drug. With quirky characters, off-the-wall tone, and unpredictable plot.''--Library Journal
