Johnny Dynamite #11

Johnny Dynamite thought his dangerous days were behind him—until Internal Security assigns him to protect Professor Yugar and his classified H-bomb plans on a train to Washington. When armed men hijack the professor and steal the briefcase, Dynamite must track down the criminals using only a wallet from one of the thieves, which leads him to an experimental theatre and a mysterious woman named Marta who may know far more than she's letting on. What begins as a straightforward kidnapping case spirals into a deadly game of deception where nothing—and no one—is quite what it seems.

Wilbur the waiter finds himself caught in an escalating dispute with a customer over whether the chicken is properly cooked—a disagreement that spirals into something far more chaotic than anyone bargained for. Meanwhile, a piano accompanist named Ackley learns that not all requests for musical accompaniment end in harmony when a determined vocalist puts him to the test.

Johnny Dynamite flies into the jungles of Indochina on a dangerous assignment to find Francois Chapman and his daughter, who are rumored dead—but his local contact Joe Bang suspects otherwise. When Dynamite's search party is ambushed and scattered, he pushes deeper into hostile territory alone, parched and desperate, only to discover the Chapmans are alive but held captive by the ruthless warlord Kai Chan, who's poisoned the very water that might save him. Now Dynamite must somehow outmaneuver a fanatic bent on using the Chapmans as leverage—and forcing him to drink from a pool laced with poison jasmine.
