...tourist on Mexico City's tree-lined Calle Amberes in the Zona Rosa shopping district might wonder if he is suffering from the mile-high altitude. There at No. 9 is a brand-new Cartier boutique, its windows agleam with shiny gold jewelry, trendy tank watches and glistening leather goods. But only eight doors away, at No. 15-C, is another Cartier, its windows also agleam with shiny gold jewelry, trendy tank watches and glistening leather goods. What is going on?

Because the murders have been committed in different parts of town, the harried police captain offers Sergeant Edward X. Delaney (Sinatra) no help in cracking the case. The old campaigner must catch the slick...
Loon Lake changes Joe, scrubs him clean, wraps him in respectability as tight as the leather grip on a golf club. Glistening nature blinds him each morning and seduces him each night. The Lake is a world of dreams, of gnawing beavers, whizzing speedboats, amniotic whirlpools, fancy flights and flights of fantasy. Like Orpheus to his river, Joe eventually succumbs to The Lake. He succumbs to wealth, to fame, success and glory. He suffers only the wrenching pain of a boot strap as it pulls itself over a heel...
