About halfway into this book, Stone Barrington (an attorney) signs a new client who is hired by the CIA (who is also a client of Stone's) to extract (read: kidnap) a person from Europe so the CIA can "interrogate" him for information. (What happens until this point in the book? Honest to God, I have no idea what the point of the first half of the book was. Except that Stone slept with a woman who died, and then he didn't really seem to care. And the new client gets suspected on "losing" millions of dollars. But then it gets found. Whew.")

The person the client extracts pulls a D.B. Cooper out of the airplane (except he uses a Mercedes). Then Stone has more sex with another woman.

The extracted person then hires Stone because he has sensitive information that he knows the CIA will want. It's information the U.S. has wanted since September 11th.

At this point, the book got so ludicrous, I would have thrown it across the room had it not been a library book.
