The Star Ruby Contract

With trouble brewing in Burma, it's time to call in the agent of last resort, in this thriller by "the John D. MacDonald of espionage fiction" (Larry McMurtry, The New York Times).

 


In Washington, they call him the Nullifier—the man to hire when every diplomatic option has failed. Joe Gall is now on his way to Burma, where the government is at its wits' end trying to expel a nationalist Chinese general and his army.


 


And if he needs backup, he has the ability to call in firepower from the famed Gurhka regiment, in this action-adventure thriller from the Edgar Award–nominated author.
