Textul de pe ultima copertă
Bostonian
Paul
Shanahan
is
many
things:
part-time
marine
surveyor,
smuggler,
gunrunner,
suspected
CIA
agent
.
.
.
and
a
full-time
scoundrel
with
ties
to
nothing
and
no
one
except
an
ex-lover
who
died
years
before
in
a
hail
of
bullets.
Now
he’s
agreed
to
transport
$5
million
in
gold
across
the
ocean
by
sailboat,
money
earmarked
by
the
Irish
Republican
Army
for
the
purchase
of
fifty-three
Stinger
missiles.
Shanahan’s
instincts
are
telling
him
there’s
more
to
this
deal
below
the
surface
and
that
he’s
not
meant
to
survive
after
delivery.
But
if
he
can
elude
British
Intelligence,
several
terrorist
organizations,
and
their
most
efficient
killers—and
with
only
his
life
left
to
lose—$5
million
might
just
be
enough
to
get
a
desperate
rogue
out
of
the
game
for
good.
