Synopsis

Introduces New York detective Harry Golding whose first case involves a series of "accidental" deaths, the victims all political figures somehow connected to the Central American country of Santa Marina

Reviews

NYPD detective Harry Golding is a middle-aged cop of the old schooltough yet compassionate, low-key and unassuming, until the suspicious death of an Israeli diplomat plunges him into the world of international intrigue. Golding discovers that the Israeli's murder was engineered by Wabash Protection, a detective agency that, upon scrutiny, appears to be a nationwide private army of thugs. A huge conglomerate, Listerman-Reed, owns Wabash, but who owns Listerman-Reed? When Golding links the answer with police corruption, international cocaine traffic and America's foreign military aid, he soon finds that not only his life, but the lives of his wife and children are threatened, so he takes matters into his own hands. Cunningham proves to be a master not only of suspense, but of character, style and atmosphere, in this ambitious, well-plotted story. February 7
