The Fer-de-Lance Contract

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).
