A 9-year-old boy is being used by the government to smuggle $100 million from Caracas to New York hidden inside his toy lion. But the child, who is flying as an "Unaccmpanied Minor," disappears in mid-flight -- along with the toy and the money. A great concept for a story. The first two thirds are a great read -- I couldn't put the book down. But the end is weighed down by a cumbersome explanation of international politics and the interaction of various government agents.
