About this ebook

An operative heads to the steamy Caribbean and brings some heat of his own: “I admire Philip Atlee’s writing tremendously.” —Raymond Chandler

Joe Gall is the kind of guy who gets called in when no one else can get the job done—a freelance operative with a CIA background who knows how to track down intel, hide in the shadows, find his quarry, and eliminate the threat. Now, a Caribbean island is having a problem with snakes—the kind only someone like Joe Gall can exterminate . . .
 
From an Edgar Award finalist called “the John D. MacDonald of espionage fiction,” this is a hard-hitting tale of action, danger, and international intrigue (Larry McMurtry, The New York Times).

Philip Atlee

Philip Atlee (1915–1991) was the creator of the long-running Joe Gall Mysteries, which is comprised of twenty-two novels published in the 1960s and 70s. Born in Fort Worth, Texas, Atlee wrote several novels and screenplays—including Thunder Road starring Robert Mitchum, and Big Jim McLain starring John Wayne—before producing the series for which he is known. An avid flyer, he was a member of the Flying Tigers before World War II and joined the Marines after the attack on Pearl Harbor.
