American businessman Nick Grocchi is framed and in prison in a foreign land. Facing a life-threatening illness. Can he survive long enough to find out who framed him and why? What readers say about The Expendable Man: * ...one of the most interesting and exciting books that I have read in the last ten years. It was so gripping that I had trouble putting it down. * I was hooked by page 3 and making comparisons to John LeCarre. * The book has it all: international and national ramifications, escape, chase, murder, suspense, medical experiments, and a unique plot. * Would government do this type of thing? I believe they would."
