Description

The CIA's response is to send the one man capable of eliminating Castro: the legendary gunfighter and ex-Marine hero Earl Swagger, who proved his lethal talent in Stephen Hunter's previous bestsellers Hot Springs and Pale Horse Coming. In Cuba, Earl finds himself up to his neck in treacherous ambiguity, where the old rules about honour and duty don't apply, and where Earl's target seems to have more guts and good luck than anyone else in Cuba. Blending real-world figures into a lightning-paced narrative, Stephen Hunter once again proves himself the master of literary adventure and suspense.

Reviews

Hunter is in the front rank of thriller novelists * People *
American hardboiled at its very best, full of taciturn and stoical characters and plotting in explosive overdrive * The Times *
Stories of passion, guilt and redemption that jump right off the page and smack the reader clean between the eyes * Independent on Sunday *
