Joe Gall is on assignment in Sao Paulo, Brazil, living in a home with a housekeeper named Julietta—who happens to be a conduit to the South American country's notorious October Eighth Movement. The group has abducted a legendary member of the CIA—and it's up to Gall to get him back . . .
This tale of international intrigue and adventure comes from Philip Atlee, "the John D. Macdonald of espionage fiction" (Larry McMurtry, The New York Times).
"I admire Philip Atlee's writing tremendously." —Raymond Chandler
