True Crime detective Nathan Heller returns in a brand new case that connects a millionaire’s kidnapped child to Robert F. Kennedy’s campaign to bring down union boss Jimmy Hoffa.
Nathan Heller, star of MWA Grandmaster Max Allan Collins’ most acclaimed series of novels (more than 1 million copies sold to date!), comes to Hard Case Crime for the first time in an all-new thriller drawn from the pages of history. A millionaire’s son is kidnapped and private eye Heller is called in to help. But when half of the record $600,000 ransom goes missing, Heller must wade through a morass of deception and depravity to blow the lid off a notorious crime whose consequences reach into the corridors of power in Washington D.C., where Bobby Kennedy works tirelessly to take down crooked union boss Jimmy Hoffa….
"An ambience-rich crime story that connects power brokers and lowlifes in an aromatic stew as sleazy as it is irresistible." - Booklist
"The Big Bundle is classic Max Collins, that alone should have you pre-ordering it. Of all his Heller novels to date, this one will leave you feeling as if you’d been sucker punched." Pulp Fiction Reviews
Praise for the author:
Nathan Heller is the perfect private eye.—New York Daily News
Collins has an outwardly artless style that conceals a great deal of art. —New York Times
A unique private eye series with a believable, enduring hard-boiled hero.—Los Angeles Times
The master of true-crime fiction. —Chicago Magazine
Collins has not only devised an original take on what may well be the most-written-about crime in history but also made Heller's role in the case plausible.—Publishers Weekly on Target Lancer
Target Lancer brings us a different, fact-based assassination scenario, eerily paralleling the Dealey Plaza nightmare. —Kirkus Reviews on Target Lancer
Collins spins a fascinating tale with appearances by Jack Ruby, Jimmy Hoffa, and Bobby Kennedy. Gripping from the get-go, this will satisfy both Heller fans and assassination wonks ever eager for a new spin on the story. —Booklist on Target Lancer
