The Havana Game
Acerca de este libro electrónico
After a terrorist attack in Estonia, Homeland Security agent Thomas Laker is sent to diffuse the situation. He's told to take his diplomacy skills but leave his gun. Bad advice. Failing to stop a second bombing, Laker is set up to take the fall for the botched operation. Instead, he goes rogue, and on the run . . .
Back in Washington, DC, Laker's partner, cryptographer Ava North, finds herself embroiled in the murder of a fellow NSA employee. He was killed outside of a casino owned by a successful Cuban American developer. Told by her boss not to interfere, she quits her job and starts her own investigation . . .
Unable to communicate with each other, Laker and Ava find themselves on opposites sides of the globe. And should their paths cross again, the results could ignite World War III.
