Alan Grofield is an actor who owns and runs a small summer stock theater in Indiana. During the off season, he commits robberies to help fund his theater. He goes to Vegas to meet with a guy named Myers who has an idea about ripping off a brewery in upstate New York. Since the plan involves killing some people, Grofield says "no thanks" and leaves. A friend of his, Barnes, also walks out. Barnes ends up winning a nice amount of money while gambling and Grofield is attacked in his hotel room later on that night because Myers thought he won the money (he was with Barnes). Grofield goes home to Indiana and Barnes shows up, nearly dead, after being beaten and robbed by Myers.
Things go off the rails for Grofield, who tries to go after Myers. It was a good, quick read, I like Westlake's books.
