The Odd Thing about
Walter Schoen, German born but now running a butcher shop in
Detroit,
he's a dead ringer for Heinrich Himmler, head of the SS and the
Gestapo. Honey Deal, Walter's American wife, doesn't know
that Walter
is a member of a spy ring and gives shelter to escaped
German POWs. But
she's tired of telling him jokes he doesn't understand—it's
time for a
divorce.
Along comes Carl Webster, the Hot Kid of the
Marshals Service. He's looking for Jurgen Schrenk. Carl's
pretty sure
Walter's involved with keeping Schrenk hidden so he gets to
know Honey,
hoping she'll lead him to Walter. Honey likes the hot kid
marshal and
doesn't much care that he's married. But all Carl wants is
to get
Jurgen without getting shot. Next, Carl meets Vera Mezwa,
the Ukrainian
head of the spy ring, and her lover Bohdan, with a sly way
of killing.
And then there's Otto—the Waffen-SS major who runs away with
a nice
Jewish girl. It's Elmore Leonard's world—gritty, funny, and
full of
surprises.
