Zomrel J. Edgar Hoover prirodzenou smrťou? Alebo bol zavraždený? Keď skupina vysokých a vzdelaných intelektuálov známa ako Inver Brass odhalí obrovské nebezpečenstvo pre krajinu v Hooverovom neetickom využívaní jeho škandálmi poznačených súkromných súborov, rozhodnú sa ho odstrániť — potichu, efektívne, bez náznaku nesprávneho konania. Potom bestsellerový autor thrillerov Peter Chancellor narazí na informácie, ktoré robia jeho predchádzajúce knihy bezvýznamnými rozprávkami. Teraz sú Chancellor a Inver Brass na smrteľnej kolíznej dráhe, ktorá sa šíri po celom svete v neustále sa rozširujúcom oblúku násilia a teroru. Všetky cesty vedú k súdnemu dňu, ktorý roztrhne hlavné mesto krajiny — a prežije len jeden kompromitujúci dokument.
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 China’s Forbidden City. Under house arrest in Peking with a case against him pending in Washington, this looks like the end of Mac’s illustrious career. But he has a plan of his own: kidnap 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,” Mac’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 readers have in their hands one relentlessly irreverent page-turner. Originally published under the pseudonym Michael Shepard. “Don’t ever begin a [Robert] Ludlum novel if you have to go to work the next day.”— Chicago Sun-Times “Ludlum stuffs more surprises into his novels than any other six-pack of thriller writers combined.”— The New York Times
