The main story is about the new “mark” turning out to be an ex-FBI agent trying to clear his name. He ends up stealing the fake identity of the man who helped to frame him. The money that was being laundered in Jamaica becomes Maggie’s. Money stolen by one thief gets stolen by another. It was a fairly engaging story but one I could have lived without. ( )
