<DIV><b>When his old boss is kidnapped, St. Ives reluctantly agrees to free him</b></div><DIV><BR>Philip St. Ives loses his first job in journalism as soon as he realizes he hates the man who gave it to him. Chicago <i>Post</i> editor Amfred Killingsworth is a pompous blowhard, and fires his newest reporter for failing to fawn over him. St. Ives goes to New York, where he lands a daily column and the close friendship of an assortment of crooks. Killingsworth goes in a less respectable direction, becoming the US ambassador to Yugoslavia. By the time the ambassador gets himself kidnapped, the only man who can save him is his former cub reporter.</div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>The kidnappers demand the release of a Slavic poet in exchange for the ambassador, and St. Ives goes behind the Iron Curtain to arrange the hand-off. To protect a trove of ugly Washington secrets, he&rsquo;ll have to save the life of a universally disliked man.</div>
