In this latter-day version of ""To Catch a Thief,"" Slippery Jim DiGriz is the slickest King Con man to ever clean out a government warehouse. . . until he's caught and enlisted in the ""Corps,"" a supersleuth organization composed of reformed criminals. His first assignment is to psych out another supercriminal mind that happens to belong to Angelina--as beautiful as she is ruthless in a chase that starts with a pirate ship and ends in revolution. A funny rat race, a better rat trap.
