Even a con man needs a change of scenery now and again, and for Richard Milhouse "Nix" Miller, Prague seems a good choice. A second-rate shyster in search of new territory and heightened gullibility,... This description may be from another edition of this product.
It was hard to start enjoying this book because the protagonist is such an a-hole but the story was quite exciting and when I finished I wanted to read more.
Re-discovered this book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
I read this book about a year ago on a friend's recommendation, and remember really liking it. Then I came across my copy last week while clearing out a closet, and thought I'd re-read the first chapter - I wound up re-reading the whole thing. I'm not necessarily a big fan of 'crime fiction,' or whatever category this would fit into, but something about this American cruising around Europe as a con man is really enjoyable. I have since passed my copy on to a friend and he just called me, three chapters in, loving the book - so I thought I'd recommend it to the world at large. This is one very well-written book that keeps you turning the page. Well worth a read (or two!)
A thrilling, intelligent (and funny) book. A great read.

I read lots of crime-fiction, and this book is one of the best I have come across. The charactors are interesting, the plot is thrilling, the locations intreguing and the writing is exciting. My wife was upset, however, that I stayed up all night, and kept waking her with my chuckling. Please let me know when Mr. Eversz comes out with another!
