The Busy Body

In "Busy Body," Al Engel, a trusted operative in the syndicate led by Nick Rovito, faces a bizarre assignment: retrieve a hidden jacket filled with heroin from the grave of a deceased drug mule. As he undertakes this delicate task in the early morning hours, Engel discovers an unexpected twist—the grave is empty. What unfolds is a comic caper that showcases Donald E. Westlake's clever storytelling and mastery of the genre.
