      About This Book

      Jack Ryan was an expert at finding people. Particularly people who didn't want to be found. This time he was looking for a guy named Robert Leary, a/k/a Bobby Lear. But looking was leading to trouble. Because a pretty blond with bedroom eyes hated Bobby's guts. And a mean dude named Royal wanted Bobby dead. Then came the junkie named Tunafish, who would sell his own mother for the right price. Counting to three added up to a double cross-and somebody in line for one very deadly bullet.
