Huttle to the Rescue

The Emperor of Japan is a pyromaniac, living in the orange groves of Echo Valley. Tom Huttle, his house destroyed by a frozen ball of piss from a passing airliner, is in Baltimore to collect a writing award, while his wife and her bawdy traveling companion are kidnapped by Arab terrorists while on an Egyptian holiday. It's up to Tom to save the day—and he might be able to do it, if only Cairo CIA Station Chief Harry "Hump" Purvis didn't believe he was at the center of a plot to conquer the world. Fast-paced, twisted, and always surprising, Huttle to the Rescue skewers everything from post Cold War political paranoia, to sexual taboos, to our fascination with youth, beauty and celebrity.
