When Tim Kearney draws a license plate over the throat of any Hell's Angel, he's just about a dead man. It's his third crime and, according to California law, that provides him "life minus the likelihood of parole." Killing a Hell's Angel also makes him a dead man on any prison yard in California. That's when the DEA makes Kearney an offer: impersonate the late, legendary dope smuggler Bobby Z so that the agency can trade him to Don Huertero -- northern Mexico's drug kingpin -- for a captured DEA agent. Tim Kearney bears an uncanny resemblance to Bobby Z, and, with some training, he could be able to pass.
Or not. But, really, what choice does he have?
So, he's off to a compound in the middle of a desert that's been created by Huertero's number-two man to look like the Arab fort in his favorite movie, Beau Jeste ("The Santa Fe thing have been done to death.") Kearney's surprised when he meets Bobby Z's old flame, Elizabeth, who was never mentioned in his training, and her son, who she claims belongs to him. It's a brief vacation by the pool before Kearney's on the run from drug lords, bikers, Indians, and cops ... and the kid's along for the ride. A number of the pursuers want Bobby Z, plus some want the considerably less legendary Tim K. Whether he pulls it off, whether he can keep the kid and the lady and his life, produces a hilarious, fast-paced, and truly touching novel.
