"Superbly splendilicious! No living author reinvents the English language with such conniving wit as John Vorhaus. It's time to put everything else on hold—the new Radar Hoverlander novel has arrived." —Stephen J. Schwartz, Los Angeles Times–bestselling author of Boulevard and Beat

Vorhaus’s well-plotted third Radar Hoverlander novel (after 2011’s The Albuquerque Turkey) takes the second-generation con man to Austin, Tex., where Radar—assisted by girlfriend Allie Quinn and partner Vic Mirplo—tries to help neighbor Sarah Crandall avoid a scam. Adam Ames has persuaded a desperate Sarah that he can save the life of her 10-year-old son, Jonah, who has dysesthesia, a rare and fatal disease. Things get complex quickly when it becomes unclear whether Sarah is Ames’s target or if Radar and friends are the target of Ames and Sarah. In a kind of Spy vs. Spy game, the two sides each seek an edge in a contest of wits that leads to a showdown at an April 1 costume shindig orchestrated by the manic Mirplo. Grifters take pride in not resorting to violence, but the threat of violence is real as a frantic battle royal caps this amusing caper.
