The Winter's Tale Classic Paperback Book by William Shakespeare Signet 1963
A dead man’s briefcase presents a down-on-his-luck pilot with the chance of a lifetime.
Pilot Douglas Grimes’s best days are long behind him.
Grounded due to a medical condition, Douglas has resigned himself to menial work as a desk clerk at a seedy hotel.
But his fortune flips when he discovers a hotel guest dead from a heart attack and, next to him, a tube jammed with hundred-dollar bills.
Douglas grabs the money and, with it, the chance to remake his life.
In Europe, he meets Miles Fabian, an elegant and erudite con man with a flair for extravagance.
Fabian recruits him for his latest ploy: robbing members of the idle rich. But what will happen when his bad behavior catches up with him?
