The enjoyment of this novel lies in the reader not knowing what's coming next. However, it's not giving away too much to mention some of the stock items employed in the plot: the corpse in the freezer among the TV dinners, the gravesite where the body is reburied several times, and all the crooked dealers who have walk-on or bigger parts: the drug smugglers, politicians, police officers, FBI agents, soldiers and televangelists. Odell continually outsmarts his adversaries, at the same time enmeshing himself ever more deeply in the corrupt system. Siding with him, the reader too is quickly ensnared in the story's web.
