This volume is my first exposure to the writing of Ralph Dennis, and it has been a pleasant one. The dark noir atmosphere reminded me of a Jack Nicholson or even Humphrey Bogart detective movie. The only thing missing here is a love interest for our protagonist Kane. Between the CIA, the Cubans, and the client’s requirements Kane has his hands full and the action is non-stop from the beginning. The writing is sharp and concise, the characters feel real. After the epilogue, it is noted that this book started out as two unpublished manuscripts that another writer edited and combined. There are two separate stories, but they are run together quite nicely. Shawn Compton, the narrator did a great job. Four.point.five. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
