{"product_id":"murder-in-havana-capital-crimes-1","title":"Murder in Havana (Capital Crimes)","description":"Max Pauling, of Murder in Foggy Bottom, is coaxed out of a restless retirement by another \"ex-\" CIA colleague. The case that tempts him is one involving a large American pharmaceutical firm that may be using a German company as a front to get around the U.S. scientific and technical embargo of Cuba.\n\nWhat's at stake? An ex-senator, who heads up a drug company, is after big game: the surprising and stunning medical research being conducted by the Cubans to develop a more effective anticancer drug.\n\nMax, who is among other things a pilot, is assured that this will be a purely private assignment—no assassinations, no government to subvert, no informers to turnjust a few easy flights and a little time in the sun. Once in Havana, he makes contact with a ravishing Cuban-American woman who is to be his \"translator.\" Soon, he finds himself hunted as an assassin in a place where murder is sanctioned for a greater good, or greater greed, and those caught in the crossfire are as quickly consumed as a frozen daiquiri.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0375500707\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0375500707.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Truman, Margaret\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
