About This Item
NY: G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1997. First edition with complete number line beginning with 1. Fine in fine dust jacket, not price clipped, in protective mylar cover. SIGNED COPY, signature only, by the author on the title page. Doc is off to Havana. "A few days before Christmas, marine biologist and former CIA operative Marion "Doc" Ford receives a call from a pal whose sailboat has strayed into Cuban waters. The friend needs Ford's help to bribe officials and get back his impounded boat. Complicating his life still further, an impossible love named Dewey has arrived that afternoon. Now Ford must go to Cuba, a dangerous trip because of his clandestine operations there that is made more dangerous by Dewey's insistence on accompanying him. What Ford encounters in Cuba is not simple government graft but a plot to eliminate Castro, and if Ford and his friends are to survive he must risk an alliance with a former Soviet agent, one of a cadre with its own reasons for wanting him dead. This is a fine addition to White's Doc Ford series..." -- Library Journal. Signed by Author. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. Book.
