Help I Am Being Held Prisoner

JAILED FOR A JOKE

It isn''t easy going to jail for a practical joke. Of course, this particular joke left 20 cars wrecked on the highway and two politicians'' careers in tatters - so jail is where Harold Künt landed. Now he''s just trying to keep a low profile in the Big House. He wants no part of his fellow inmates'' plan to use an escape tunnel to rob two banks. But it''s too late; he''s in it up to his neck. And that neck may just wind up in a noose...

HELP I AM BEING HELD PRISONER is Donald E. Westlake at his funniest and his most ingenious, a rediscovered crime classic from the MWA Grand Master returning to stores for the first time in three decades.
