eBook Description:  Max Pauling, of Murder in Foggy Bottom, is coaxed out of a restless retirement by another "ex-" CIA colleague. The case that tempts him is one involving a large American pharmaceutical firm that may be using a German company as a front to get around the U.S. scientific and technical embargo of Cuba. What's at stake? An ex-senator, who heads up a drug company, is after big game: the surprising and stunning medical research being conducted by the Cubans to develop a more effective anticancer drug. Max, who is among other things a pilot, is assured that this will be a purely private assignment--no assassinations, no government to subvert, no informers to turnjust a few easy flights and a little time in the sun. Once in Havana, he makes contact with a ravishing Cuban-American woman who is to be his "translator." Soon, he finds himself hunted as an assassin in a place where murder is sanctioned for a greater good, or greater greed, and those caught in the crossfire are as quickly consumed as a frozen daiquiri.

PROLOGUE Langley, Virginia "How did you feel when you killed him?" "How did I feel?" "Yes." "I -- I didn't especially feel anything." "Nothing? Not a moment of doubt? Of guilt?" "No." "Did you know him?" "I knew of him." "Meaning?" "I knew who he was. I knew what he was." "What was his reaction?" A bemused raised eyebrow preceded, "He didn't have time to react. It's best that way." "I see." He added to notes he'd been making. "How do you feel now?" "Fine." "Trouble sleeping? Nightmares?" "Of course not." The sound of a window air conditioner gently bridged the lull. "You'll be gone for two months," he said. "I know." "Where will you go?" he asked, knowing it was a question that would not be answered. His was not a need-to-know. Silence. He made another note and closed the black leather portfolio resting on his lap. "Thank you for coming in." The opening of the door allowed the sound of office equipment to enter the room. The door's closing abruptly restored the hush. He opened the portfolio and wrote CLEARED, which reflected his psychiatric judgment, closed it, went to a safe in a corner of the austere room, opened it, placed the folio inside, closed the door, spun the wheel, checked the door, then returned to his desk and dialed a number. "I'm leaving," he said. "See you at home." In a moment, he would exit the building and get behind the wheel of his Cherokee. If the traffic cooperated, he'd be in time to catch the final few innings of the game. Copyright © 2001 by Margaret Truman
