Jack Delaney liked to see the way a women's eyes lit up when he told her he was a former jewel thief. It was a great line. He'd been released from the Louisiana State Pen one month shy of three years out of the "five to twenty-five" the judge handed him. Now he's working for his brother-in-law Leo at Mullen & Sons, a New Orleans mortuary. Wirking with dead people. It's amazing how fast a guy can sink. But one afternoon, Leo sends him on an errand to pick up a dead leper, and he meets, Lucy, the best-looking nun he's ever laid eyes upon. Lucy has some crazy idea of how they can get their hands on several million dollars that some nasty Nicaraguan colonel has stashed away for the contra rebels. She's smart, that's for certain, and he has the necessary elan. But they need a logistics man. That's where his buddy Roy comes in, an ex-cop/ex-con with a mean streak a mile wide. If their plan succeeds, the three of them are going to make out like bandits.
