Black Sheep (Hardcover, Original ed.)

After a trail of broken marriages and a roller-coaster ride from fortune to bankruptcy to fortune again, Jonas Lamb has one last chance to turn his life around. He starts by trying to build a better relationship with his son, a genetic engineer, and ends up financially backing his son's work. But Jonas's plans don't go smoothly and he's forced to pit his considerable charm and wits against others who are interested in the work, including oil companies, the White House, foreign spies, femmes fatales, and hit men.
