description: 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 ladiesâ€ 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 Chinaâ€s Forbidden City. Under house arrest in Peking, with a case against him pending in Washington, it looks like the end of Macâ€s illustrious career.But he has a plan of his ownâ€”and it includes kidnapping the Pope. Whatâ€s the ransom? Just one American dollarâ€” for every Catholic in the world . Add to the mix a slew of shady â€œinvestors,â€ Hawkinsâ€s four persuasive, well-endowed ex-wives, and a young lawyer and fellow soldier who wants nothing more than to return to private lifeâ€”and youâ€ve got one relentlessly irreverent page-turner.From the Paperback edition.
