Eddie Verlaine is an American expatriate, hustler, epicure and small-time crook. His search for flea markets, drugs and bric-a-brac takes him to Amsterdam where he meets Jana, part femme fatale, part lucky charm. Jana introduces Eddie to the menacing Werner and Margo, his raunchy sidekick. If Eddie will take a large supply of drugs to London, he will have acquired three friends for life. Eddie is just about wise enough to know that all is not what it seems. Like a character out of Henry James, he is the American 'innocent' lost in byzantine, decadent Europe.Speedy, smart and cynical, Jana introduces a new thriller voice totally suitable for our noir fin-de-siecle.
