Description

It isn t easy going to jail for being a practical joker. Of course, this particular joke left 20 cars wrecked on the highway and two politicians’ careers in tatters so jail is where Harold Künt landed.

Now he’s just trying to keep a low profile in the Big House. He wants no part of his fellow inmates’ plan to use an escape tunnel to rob two banks. But it s too late: he’s in it up to his neck. And that neck may just wind up in a noose…

HELP I AM BEING HELD PRISONER is Donald E. Westlake at his funniest and his most ingenious, a rediscovered crime classic from the MWA Grand Master returning to stores for the first time in three decades.
