Produktbeschreibung

A hard-edged covert operative crosses into Mexico-and enters a dark, dangerous spiral-in this novel from "an able practitioner" of the thriller genre (Larry McMurtry, The New York Times). A freelancer specializing in covert ops, Joe Gall has been tasked with doing a background check on a millionaire-a job that will take him into the wild and gritty world of 1960s Mexico. Unfortunately, the assignment has already come to a bad end for two different agents before him. It will put Gall in the crosshairs of some very dangerous people-not to mention piranhas-as he goes deeper and deeper undercover, into the terrifying world of heroin addiction . . . From the Edgar Award-nominated author of The White Wolverine Contract, this is lighting-paced Cold War-era action at its best.
