About this ebook
Thomas McKinley, a recently retired Marine Corps officer, goes to Honduras to research a book on the Contras. In the town of Danlí not far from the Nicaraguan border, he meets Honduran-American Elena Johnson de Vasquez – attractive, divorced, the well-off owner a local cigar factory, and very good with a gun.
While seeking information for his book and asking questions that nobody seems to want to answer, Tom and Elena arouse the suspicions of a local Arab marijuana grower and trafficker and become embroiled in an international plot involving a rogue U.S. agency operation and the Russian and Chinese governments. Interwoven with substories revolving around key foreign characters and against a background of growing romance, there is plenty of action as Tom and Elena defend themselves against assassins and take down the criminals behind the plot.

Stories and language are my passion. In elementary school, I asked my 8th grade teacher what language I should take in high school. She said, "Take Latin. It's a great foundation." Uh huh. I took it and found out it was, shall we say, challenging. I took four years of it and added French and Spanish in the last two years. In college, I got a degree in French language and literature, and had a couple of years each of Russian and Arabic. I've picked up a few other languages over the years, operated an international marketing services and translation business, and done tech writing in aerospace companies. Besides my current mysteries and thrillers, a long time ago I had two "hi-lo" novellas published, high-interest low vocabulary level books for teens with reading problems. They were "Wet Fire" and "Counterfeit!". The publishing company was sold and bought a number of times, and both of the books are still around in various editions. Originally from Detroit, Michigan, I have lived in the Los Angeles, California, area for many years. And, no, I was never a hippie. Probably just as well.
