But the residual checks are drying up, and the ascetic lifestyle s starting to wear thin, so Jack s happy to cash in on his former celebrity by showing some out-of-town high rollers around San Francisco s club scene.Then people start turning up dead, and Jack realizes he s been playing tour guide to a pack of former KGB agents turned coke dealers. Soon he s got too many gunmen after him to count including a South American drug cartel, a mountain-sized Samoan enforcer, and a mobbed-up strip-club owner with an army of thugs.
That s not to mention the gorgeous bartender who may be planning on shooting him in the back and the homicide cop who s just given Jack twenty-four hours to bring down the Bay Area s biggest drug dealer.But the thing that scares Jack the most? He s starting to enjoy himself.
