Library Journal (Starred Review)
On February 25, 1964, in Miami, Cassius Clay (Muhammad Ali) beat Sonny
Liston to win the world heavyweight championship. The same evening, a
family of Cuban exiles is brutally murdered, along with four militiamen
who have sworn to liberate their homeland. The murders are never solved.
Forty years later, enigmatic series hero Thorn (Blackwater Sound) is
visiting Alexandra in Miami when two men attempt to steal a photograph
in his possession that was taken during the Clay/Liston match. Thwarted
in their efforts, the two persist, leading Thorn into a search for
answers that uncovers corruption in Miami's government and a CIA plot to
facilitate a second
nvasion of Cuba after the Bay of Pigs fiasco. In his 14th novel, Hall
has written a gripping tale of dirty politics, love gone wrong, murder
for hire, and international intrigue that is impossible to put down.
Highly recommended for all popular fiction collections. -
