Book Overview

In a huge Hawaiian mansion by the sea live Jack Wolfe, ruthless millionaire, and his knockout wife, ex-hooker Nora. Weary of marriage, she seduces dim-bulb aging surfer Chad to kill her husband. But then it seems as if Jack wants Chad to kill him -- or rather, he wants it to look like he was killed so he can avoid legal prosecution and begin a new life. He offers the kid a new and better deal. Then it gets complicated: who are allies and who are conspirators is not known. It's all observed by Hawaiian Jewish detective Dani Kahana -- also in love with Nora. This complicated tale ends explosively with a hilarious and unexpected close. This description may be from another edition of this product.

"Just Play Dead" a very fun read

By Thriftbooks.com User, October 21, 1997

This book took a few moments to adjust to the tone and pacing but once I did, it was one of the most fun reads I've had in ages. The characters were devious, cunning and I felt lucky to be inside their sick but fascinating little world. Dani Kahane, the narrator seems as helplessly attracted to these people as I became... I walk around now feeling as though I know Nora and Jack Wolfe, Joan Chan and Danil Kahane and I miss...
