by Michael Ruscoe

Mark Flynn may be the toughest secret agent in the business. Provided, of course, that he actually is a secret agent."As a 'Stray Cat,'" Flynn tells the reader, "I'm one of the most covert agents working for the U.S. government. If I'm captured or killed, no government official would ever acknowledge my actions. And even if they did, whose actions are easier to disavow than those of someone with my history of mental illness?"In You'll Do Anything, Flynn takes on a mission that forces him to redefine his fragile sense of reality and how he fits into it. A clandestine meeting between three local teenage hoodlooms and a pair of foreign operatives plunges Flynn neck-deep into a nefarious plot hatched by the outlandish doughnut baron General Horatio Monteford. Meanwhile, Flynn is caught up in a whirlwind romance with the beguiling Darlene Summers, who unknowingly lives at the edge of Monteford's evil plans.Flynn's bizzare mission and his complex personal life become hopelessly entangled, and as he unravels Monteford's scheme, the Stray Cat embarks on a journey that will change his life.So-is he, or isn't he? You'll Do Anything to find out!

This book is a brave combination of crazy love story, covert operations, and just plain crazy. Throw in a narrator who loves cats, an overly popular doughnut shop and two German thugs and you have "You'll Do Anything: From the Stray Cate Files."

I have had this book in my bookshelf for over 10 years and finally read it on Sunday in one sitting. An enjoyable read!
