The MacGuffin


A Thriller & Suspense Short Story

Buy from Amazon

Publisher Description

From internationally-acclaimed thriller author Raymond Benson (continuation James Bond novels, The Black Stiletto, etc.) comes this fast-paced, darkly comic, action-thriller short story.

Wikipedia defines a MacGuffin as "a plot device in the form of some goal, desired object, or other motivator that the protagonist pursues, often with little or no narrative explanation.” In this case, the MacGuffin is a purple bag recovered from an airport baggage claim.

The CIA, the FBI, Middle Eastern operatives, Japanese Intelligence, and the Mafia all want it... but does anyone really know what's inside? One thing is clear--whoever's in possession of it won't have very long to live.
