McQuinn (Paperback)

LAPD detective Felipe McQuinnas penchant for solving crimes in unorthodox fashion is appreciated by some. Not so by his bosses. McQuinn too closely resembles those he chases. One crime dealt with by McQuinn in his inimitable way is one too many. Fleeing arrest, he arrives in Rio de Janeiro, opens a bar in ritzy Ipanema, and begins a new life carioca style. The CIA, aware of McQuinnas strengths and flaws, seduces him into recovering a dangerous chemical hijacked in the high seas by disguised Cuban Special Forces. Castroas objective: To use the substance to eliminate a rising insurgency operating in the same rugged mountains the Cuban leader emerged from four decades before. In the midst of hurricane season, McQuinn infiltrates the island. The unruly ex-cop, with the aid of underground resistance and a CIA paramilitary team, must recover the chemical before Castro eliminates the first real threat to the survival of his tyrannical regime.
