The Misplaced Battleship

The Misplaced Battleship

Harry Harrison

Slippery Jim diGriz has gone straight. Mostly. The galaxy's most celebrated thief now works for the Special Corps, solving crimes that honest cops can't touch. When a Warlord-class battleship vanishes from a peaceful sector, Jim is sent to Cittanuvo to investigate what should be a straightforward assignment. Instead, he finds Pepe Nero, a criminal mastermind with an ego the size of a moon, and Angelina, a woman twice as dangerous as she is beautiful. Together, they've orchestrated something far more sinister than a simple theft. Now Jim must find that battleship before it falls into the wrong hands, outwit enemies at every turn, and decide who he can really trust when everyone has secrets. The twists keep coming. The action never stops. And Jim's famous wit might be the only thing that saves him. Harry Harrison at his best: fast, funny, and utterly unrepentant about rooting for the criminals.
