Set in the early 1960s, JFK is president. From Guatemala, where Gabriel Dax, a hapless spy, uses his cover as a pedestrian travel writer, to gain an interview with a potential left-wing presidential candidate who neither United Fruit, the banana conglomerate, nor the CIA wants to win. MI-6 helps. The KGB is also paying Dax. In Berlin, he encounters rogue CIA agents, working with the Mafia, and a plot to assassinate Kennedy. Along the way, love eludes Dax. A fun read, every fast-paced, plot twisting page.

By a master story teller, whose acclaimed early novels were set in Africa (A Good Man in Africa; An Ice-Cream War.)
