Book Synopsis''A superb novel ... you will be hooked from the first chapter and enjoy every line'' Sunday Express
Deep in the South American jungle the MAMista Marxist revolutionaries are fighting a hopeless, protracted war against a dictator - while the CIA see an opportunity. Amid the turmoil, three very different people - a doctor, a young firebrand and an educated revolutionary - find themselves thrown together and trapped at the heart of a battle where the enemy is uncertain, and there can be no winners. Len Deighton''s first post-Cold War novel is a chilling and compelling story of revolution and betrayal.
