The Busy Body

The Busy Body is a by-the-book comic caper involving a mob courier who after a fatal heart attack is inadvertently buried in a suit containing $250,000 of heroin in its linings. A small-time gofer is tasked with digging up the drugs only to find both the suit and the body missing. The story is oddly conventional, with none of the absurd plot developments or memorable characters of Donald Westlake's best books.
