DESCRIPTION - The Provincial Resident of a desolate province in a South American country has been assassinated. When Manuel Ortega, a minor diplomat, accepts the appointment as the dead man's successor, it seems a foolhardy decision. For Ortega the assignment is a challenge - he has lived a quiet life and longs for some action. From the day he assumes his post he is plunged into a violent, corrupt world, where two extremist political factions are trying to destroy each other. Ortega is the proverbial man in the middle, surrounded by men and women he yearns to trust - his secretary, passionate in both politics and love, the cynical Chief of Police, and the sullen bodyguards who try to keep the Resident alive. With its political and moral undercurrents, and its brutally ironic climax, THE ASSIGNMENT is a tense and fast-moving book. inventory #3923 Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket.
