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...

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

Superb...Collins again artfully uses a real-life crime, one now obscure but headline-making in the 1950s, as the springboard for a crackerjack plot. This is another standout in a consistently good series. - Publishers Weekly starred review

Entertainingly detailed...This case unfolds...like a maze of Midwestern fleshpots. - Kirkus Reviews

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
