I saw headlines on Twitter earlier that a penthouse condo at the Ritz-Carlton had sold for $12.6M.

It was later reported by the Daily Record that author Tom Clancy is the buyer.

More details:

In what is being billed as the largest condominium transaction in Baltimore’s history, novelist Tom Clancy has paid $12.6 million for a penthouse condominium in the Ritz-Carlton Residences. Clancy’s attorney, Lowell R. Bowen, a partner with Miles & Stockbridge PC, confirmed that settlement occurred Wednesday morning.
