It turns out that this wasn't the book I was looking for (though I enjoyed reading it). The book has the same criteria as The Money Lovers, Gulf War Vet, husband and wife crime team, the husband's mistress, but also I distinctly remember the husband's half Samoan, half Korean henchman. Also, I believe the story took place in the San Francisco - Bay Area. Want to try again? |

Hello. Just off the top of my head... "Paradise Junction" (1993) by Phillip Finch. ;-) From the reviews on Amazon.com: 'Gorgeous "heroine" Caitlin is totally bored with life and her wealthy husband, Hays, who suddenly finds that his direct-sales business is falling. At Caitlin's instigation, they team up with ex-con Sonny Naull in a series of successful burglaries undertaken more for kicks than for money. Into this mix comes Hays's reprehensible business partner, a Samoan muscleman, a troupe of nasty bikers, and a Marine named Welcome.' source: Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/stores/detail/-/books/0312953046/reviews/ Available used via Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/stores/offering/list/-/0312088698/all/ Thanks again! -juggler |

Thank you for the tip! I have to admit that when I saw your clarification request yesterday, I wasn't optimistic about my chances of finding it. Your Bay Area clue ended up doing the trick, though, as I was able to use that to locate references to a crime novel about a California couple. For example: http://www.alibris.com/search/detail.cfm?chunk=25&mtype=&qtit=paradise%20junction&qtopic=california&S=R&bid=8082055097 Eventually, I found the Amazon review that mentioned the Marine and the Samoan henchman. It was a fun search! Thanks again. Best regards, juggler |
