A waterfront penthouse in Baltimore that was once owned by the late novelist Tom Clancy is headed to the auction block on December 12 with no reserve price. The best-selling author of the Jack Ryan novels chose a Ritz-Carlton Residence penthouse on the waterfront and increased its size by combining it with two more penthouse units. The finished product took two years and $15 million to create.

Clancy, who died in 2013, was one of the world’s best-selling writers whose thrillers such as Patriot Games, Clear and Present Danger, The Hunt for Red October and The Sum of All Fears were also made into major hit movies. His financial success also made it possible for him to buy into his hometown Baltimore Orioles Major League baseball team as a part owner.
