The crimes of Jordan Wise: a novel
(Book)
Description
Jordan Wise
is a mild-mannered accountant with a large San Francisco engineering firm in
the late 1970s. By his own admission, the first thirty-four years of his life
were dull, empty. But that all changes when he meets and falls in love with
Annalise Bonner, an ambitious young woman who craves excitement and a life on
the edge.
With her as
the catalyst, Wise concocts and executes a meticulous plan to steal more than
half a million dollars from his firm. They escape to the Virgin Islands, but
their plans to live a life of quiet luxury are beset by unexpected pitfalls—and
Wise is forced to
carry out
two more ingenious schemes as a result. All three of his crimes are perfect—or
are they?
The Crimes of Jordan Wise is a classic
tale of love, greed, betrayal, and violence told with Bill Pronzini's
characteristic twists and turns and his special brand of suspense. It is also a
powerful psychological examination of a man, a woman, and the wages of sin.
