To escape a life of hard time, a hapless petty criminal agrees to impersonate a legendary drug lord as part of a government scheme to rescue an federal agent, only to find himself prey to cops and killers alike. Reprint. NYT.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: When born loser Tim Kearney murdered a Hell's Angel, he didn't have a choice. Now, sentenced to life without parole in a prison full of the Angel's vengeful buddies, he doesn't have a chance.

Then the Feds make him an offer: impersonate the late, legendary drug lord Bobby Z and allow himself to be delivered to a Mexican kingpin in exchange for a kidnapped agent. If the deal goes down, Tim can walk away a free man. But when the swap turns bloody, Tim runs--straight into the luxurious, chaotic, hair-raising, and very hazardous life of Bobby Z. . . .
