Affable young parking valet Tyler Benson, a master of bad timing, is accidentally involved in cases of auto theft and murder on the lot at Alba, an upscale Seattle restaurant. There's a body in a parked car, and someone shooting at tech zillionaire Scott Duckworth. Mysterious Italian beauty Flavia Torcelli and even Tyler's spectacularly unsuccessful dad seem somehow connected to the crime wave. The more Tyler tries to sort things out, the more the police are convinced he's the guilty party. ...Oh, and a collection of inept but homicidal Russian mafiosi seems to be after him, too. "A canny sense of humor and timing... Beck is masterly in pulling all these madcap threads together even as the rollicking suspense threatens to careen out of control (but never does)."—Publishers Weekly (starred review 7/6/15)
