DESCRIPTION:
Another briliiant political novel from a master of the craft A former one-term Congressman named Chubb Dunjee takes center stage in The Mordida Man. Dunjee is one of those larger-than-life characters who found their way into the novels of Ross Thomas. Once a captain in the Special Forces as well as a Congressman and UN official, he later became a cab driver. Later still, he hired himself out to take on “special projects” overseas. A stint in Mexico, when he spread around enough bribe money to spring 62 Americans from jail, earned him the moniker in the novel’s title. Now. Great read J. DavidMcGirt Sometimes Thomas would leave one with the impression that he was as surprised as his reader. Intricate and convincing plot delivered in a smooth narrative.. Good complex plotting Lois Calvert Typical Ross Thomas with plenty of odd characters and twists. Central persons nicely conflicted with both noble and venal characteristics.
They want blood.. Hours later, the President’s brother—a political powerhouse in his own right—boards a plane to Las Vegas that doesn’t land in Nevada. A freelance fixer comes out of retirement to rescue the President’s kidnapped brotherAmerican agents abduct a high-profile terrorist in broad daylight on the streets of London, subduing him with a tranquilizer. Libyan radicals are at the controls, and he is their prisoner. The only man who can save him is Chubb Dunjee. Saving the President’s brother should be no trouble for him. A former United Nations operative with skills in every aspect of political negotiation, Chubb became famous for solving problems with well-placed bribes. But the Libyans don’t want a bribe. He dies a few hours later on a flight back to Washington, DC, and the body is dropped into the ocean
