Condition: Very good. both dust jacket and book itself

This crackling, political thriller opens with the assassination of a Nicaraguan diplomat–which kicks off the vice-presidential campaign of a young U.S. Senator wounded in the melee–and leads to a web of covert operations and political intrigues eerily echoing today’s headlines.

Aging FBI agent Mancusco and his ambitious young partner Ross pursue the assassin who killed Colonel Octavio Martinez and critically wounded Texas senator Terry Fallon, while Fallon’s political career booms as a result of media attention.
