Cast a Yellow Shadow by Ross Thomas

5.0

Smart, sharp, fast thriller with Ross's perennial ex-spies reunited in Washington DC where McCorkle has opened a bar and Padillo turns up stabbed on the docks. Someone wants to hire Padillo to do a job and to ensure his co-operation they kidnap Mac's wife. To get out of this situation, they have to bring in three operators who may be more dangerous to them than the kidnappers.
