Sentence:
When a fishing trip uncovers the corpse of a drowned U.S. Navy sailor,
retired CIA operative Frank Spezzio quickly goes from spending his days
lounging on Caribbean beaches to dodging assassins’ bullets as he unravels
a trail of conspiracy and murder that leads right to the steps of Capitol
Hill.
Blurb:
Forced from his comfy retirement by the discovery of a corpse floating
off the coast of the Dominican Republic, former CIA operative Frank
Spezzio decides to follow the trail of clues left behind by the drowned
sailor. His chase leads him from the street festivals and naval
bases of Puerto Rico to the steamy jungles of the Dominican Republic.
Along the way, as he uncovers the impact of the U.S. military machine on
fragile island ecosystems, he ultimately discovers within himself the
things that really matter.
Synopsis:
Who could want more from life than a beach chair, sunny Caribbean
weather and an attractive soul-mate? But for Frank ‘Buck’ Spezzio,
retired paradise has grown mundane. A horrifying discovery during an
innocent fishing trip quickly turns his life on end, launching him
backwards to his days as a field operative in the CIA. Paired with
an unlikely ally, Spezzio digs deep into the turmoil between civilians and
the US military, hidden beneath Puerto Rico’s festive atmosphere.
Their search takes them from the streets of San Juan and the poisoned soil
of Vieques Island to a life-and-death struggle deep in the rain forests of
the Dominican Republic.
Juggling the CIA and Puerto Rican rebels and dodging assassins’
bullets, Spezzio uncovers both the truth behind a sailor’s untimely death
and the things within himself that matter most.
