Synopsis: "Somewhere in Philadelphia, a master engraver is turning out brilliant forgeries of U. S. currency plates for organized crime. To bring the operation down from the inside, the government sends an agent undercover posing as a West Coast crime lord's right-hand man. It's a dangerous game of impersonation—one that could prove fatal when the agent's secret begins to unravel . . . " — quoted from the trade paperback's back cover copy.
