John B. Hawkins

International playboy John Hawkins and two associates conspire to kill a young man as part of a scam to collect $2 million in life insurance. Initially authorities fall for it, but the scheme unravels. The two associates are caught early on, but ringleader Hawkins goes on the run, launching a three-year global manhunt. Hawkins is close to getting away with it until his path finally crosses with the lone police officer who pursues him relentlessly--California homicide detective Jon Perkins.
