About the book
'
Originally published in 2002 and nominated for the Arthur Ellis Award for Best Crime Novel
A blend of thriller, satire, and romance with a shocking twist
Romance novelist Maggie Schneider flees snowy Canada for Costa Rica, seeking inspiration and maybe even a romantic encounter. She finds far more than she expected when she s kidnapped by a rag-tag gang led by a handsome, charismatic revolutionary called Halcon: the Falcon. Also held hostage for ransom is Halcon s main target, the flirtatious wife of a right-wing U.S. senator, who seeks to capture the Republican nomination as U.S. president.
Enter burned-out ex secret agent Slack Cardinal, the protagonist of Deverell s third novel, Mecca. Now he has changed his name and is hiding out in the Costa Rican jungles, working as a tour guide. But he is found there by CIA operative Ham Bakerfield and reluctantly pressed into service to try to rescue the women.
