Dirty Details Done Dirt Cheap:
A man who's seen and done horrible things for his country, Paul Rayburn now makes his home in Mexico City, putting his CIA days behind him and running an independent security firm. When it comes time to assign a bodyguard for young Pita Ramos, daughter of rich businessman Samuel Ramos, Rayburn recommends his friend and former colleague John Creasy, a burned-out alcoholic in need of a job - and redemption. When Pita is kidnapped by Mexican thugs, Rayburn helps the wounded Creasy go underground, knowing that a roaring rampage of revenge will soon be underway. "A man can be an artist... in anything, food, whatever. It depends on how good he is at it. Creasy's art is death. He's about to paint his masterpiece."
