<p><b>A lean and mean thriller about one man and the Mob from ''the crime laureate'' INDEPENDENT.</b><br>The last time Florida motel owner George Moran was in the Dominican Republic he was in a uniform and people were shooting at him. Years later he''s back looking for a girl he lost - and finding one he''d be better off without. Mary de Boya may be beautiful, but she''s also the wife of a former death squad general in exile with mob connections. So much for the trip down memory lane - now Moran finds himself in a cat''s cradle of drug deals, swindles, vengeance and murder.<br><br><br><b>''Dialogue like broken glass, sharp and glittering, and a raft of low-lifes individualised in primary colours like hard-edged pop art'' <i>Independent </i></b></p>
