| 520 | |a "From the internationally bestselling author, a thrilling novel starring the travel writer turned reluctant spy Gabriel Dax, a masterful tale of loyalty, obsession, and spy craft. 1963, Guatemala. The country is in turmoil, and the CIA is not pleased that a charismatic, left-wing ex-priest and trade union leader is poised to win the upcoming presidential election. Amid this uncertainty, Gabriel Dax arrives on orders from his MI6 handler Faith Green, who has tasked him with assessing the situation undercover while posing as a reporter. Upon arrival, Gabriel grows increasingly suspicious that the genial local CIA agent, Frank Sartorius, is more untrustworthy than he appears. Soon, a political assassination with suspicions of Mafia involvement leads to riots, and Dax escapes back to Europe and his normal life. But when Green compels him to investigate shady characters in West Berlin ahead of the arrival of the magnetic young President Kennedy, it becomes clear that an even greater danger is afoot. A gripping novel of politics and spy craft with dramatic twists and turns, The Predicament shows Boyd to be one of our most masterful contemporary storytellers"-- Provided by publisher. | ||
