War hero General MacKenzie Hawkins is a living legend. But now he stands accused of defacing a historic monument in China. Facing house arrest and a looming trial, Hawkins hatches an outrageous plan: kidnap the Pope. His ransom demand? Just one American dollar—for every Catholic in the world. Add in his persuasive ex-wives, a slew of shady investors, and a young lawyer who wants nothing more than to return to private life, and you have a relentlessly irreverent page-turner that will leave you breathless.
