by Charles Mccarry (Author)
'Thank God McCarry has written another book. I've been waiting years to find what happened to that old boy Paul Christopher' Elmore Leonard Paul Christopher, a crack ex-intelligence agent, has disappeared. Months later his ashes are delivered by a Chinese official to the American consulate in Beijing. But his cousin Horace, also an ex-agent, is not convinced Christopher is dead and decides to enlist the help of four other retired colleagues. Beginning with a photograph of a woman's hand holding a centuries-old scroll, once in the possession of the Nazis and now sought by the American government, the old boys' search takes them around the globe in their hunt for the truth.
