In this wickedly funny novel, Robert Ludlum combines the explosive pacing of The Bourne Identity and The Bourne Supremacy with a bitingly witty send-up of everything from government bureaucrats and pandering military men to the mob, the law, and organized religion.
War hero and infamous ladies man General MacKenzie Hawkins is a living legend. His life story has even been sold to Hollywood. But now he stands accused of defacing a historic monument in Chinas Forbidden City. Under house arrest in Peking with a case against him pending in Washington, this looks like the end of Macs illustrious career. But he has a plan of his own: kidnap the Pope.
Whats the ransom? Just one American dollarfor every Catholic in the world. Add to the mix a slew of shady investors, Macs four persuasive, well-endowed ex-wives, and a young lawyer and fellow soldier who wants nothing more than to return to private life, and readers have in their hands one relentlessly irreverent page-turner.
Originally published under the pseudonym Michael Shepard.
