Only one man can save the president’s kidnapped brother in this propulsive thriller from the author “without peer in American suspense” (Los Angeles Times).
American agents abduct a high-profile terrorist in broad daylight on the streets of London, subduing him with a tranquilizer. He dies a few hours later on a flight back to Washington, DC, and the body is dropped into the ocean.
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. Libyan radicals are at the controls, and he is their prisoner.
The only man who can save him is Chubb Dunjee. A former United Nations operative with skills in every aspect of political negotiation, Chubb became famous for solving problems with well-placed bribes. Saving the President’s brother should be no trouble for him. But the Libyans don’t want a bribe. They want blood.
The Mordida Man eBook Ross Thomas
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, retired to a villa in Portugal, Dunjee is approached by an old political acquaintance representing the White House on a curious mission. The ex-Congressman is broke now, so he has little choice but to take it on.The President has a big problem
Yes, there’s a problem. A big one. And President Jerome McKay thinks only Chubb Dunjee can fix it. Under truly mysterious circumstances, the president’s brother, Bingo McKay, has been kidnapped — and it’s clear that the Libyan government is involved. Thomas introduces a seriously unbalanced Moammar Gaddhafi lookalike to underline the threat.
The solution is more complicated than you can possibly imagine
With this setup, Thomas is off and running in one of his typically fast-moving and suspenseful political thrillers. He’s funny from time to time as well. The book is full of colorful characters, among them assorted international terrorists, a criminal hacker, clever Arab officials, a distinguished Gambian UN delegate, a corrupt former CIA officer, and two crafty American political operatives. As in all of Thomas’ novels, the plot twists and turns, offering up plenty of surprises. Somehow, it all works. I’ve long found Ross Thomas‘ books to be among the most enjoyable on the market. It’s a pity that he died more than twenty years ago.

The Mordida Man eBook Ross Thomas Reviews
I'm a big Ross Thomas fan. I discovered his work in the 70's and waited with anticipation every new novel. Fast, fun, funny and exciting.
Not being a critic I look for something to read that keeps me interested and entertained. Ross Thomas is an author that does that for me. Keeps me interested and entertained.
RossThomas was my favorite writer for years. The only author like him was the early Carl Hiaasen. I had actually read this book years ago and it got lost in a move, but I needed something light to read on a cruise.
It was an early work. Not as polished as his later books. Nonetheless, I did enjoy the book.
Thomas does an excellent job of blending previous characters with new "entries". Even though you may have never read any other of his books, (which would be a shame, as they are uniformly excellent), the mix of scoundrels and somewhat, almost good guys creates an entertaining plot.
Read the book. You won't be disappointed.
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.
One of the great storytellers, think Elmore Leonard abroad. Out of print, but available for . I have read most of his books and enjoyed every page.
