An obnoxious oil tycoon has been kidnapped by a freedom fighter group from abroad.
They demand a ransom and Spenser has been hired by the tycoon's wife to deliver it.
The drop off goes wrong courtesy of the gung ho security chief of the oil company.
Spenser learns that the freedom fighters do not exist. This could be an inside job.
The security chief might be in the frame. Spenser finds out that others could also be involved.
When the tycoon turns up dead, Spenser thinks that it might not had even be for the ransom.
A good hard boiled story. Once again Hawk is he only person Spenser can trust. There is a nice twist or two as well regarding the kidnap.
