Description
Quand on a été rat d'hôtel et qu'on a passé trois ans en prison, le métier de croque-mort est un sacré changement, mais Jack Delaney travaille avec son beau-frère et le boulot est tranquille : jamais de réclamations de la part du client... Sauf le jour où le cadavre dont il faut s'occuper est en fait une jeune nicaraguayenne bien vivante qu'il faut tirer des pattes d'un trio de contras venus à la Nouvelle-Orléans collecter des fonds pour faire la guerre aux sandinistes. Du coup, Delaney se retrouve, pour une fois, dans le camp des bons, avec une ancienne religieuse, un ex-braqueur de banques et in flic reconverti en barman. Et l'avantage de servir une bonne cause, c'est qu'il peut y avoir des à-côtés intéressants, par exemple, deux millions de dollars.
