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 had
even been sold to Hollywood. But now he stands accused of
defacing a historic monument in China’s Forbidden City.
Under house arrest in Peking, with a case against him
pending in Washington, it looks like the end of Mac’s
illustrious career.
But he has a plan of his own—
and it includes kidnapping the Pope. What’s the ransom?
Just one American dollar—for every Catholic in the
world. Add to the mix a slew of shady “investors,”
Hawkins’s four persuasive, well-endowed ex-wives, and a
young lawyer and fellow soldier who wants nothing more
than to return to private life—and you’ve got one
relentlessly irreverent page-turner.
