A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Born in San Francisco, California, Christopher Newman wrote the first draft of his third published novel, Manana Man, while in residence in Cali, Colombia his senior year in college. At 27, he moved to New York City, working as a trim carpenter for five years in Manhattan before publishing his first Joe Dante novel, Mid-Town South, in 1985. When that title met with considerable commercial success, his publisher convinced him to turn his protagonist into a series character. Eight more Joe Dante novels followed, all making various national best seller lists. Mid-Town North, published in 1991, was nominated for an Edgar Allan Poe Award by the Mystery Writers of America. Chains of Command, left unfinished at the time of best-selling author William Caunitz' death in 1998, was completed by Mr. Newman at the estate's request. It was named a 1999 New York Times Notable Book of the Year.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Revenge. Blackmail. Murder. Sometimes they add up to justice. THEN It’s 1963. A beautiful young girl dies in the middle of an abortion on a cold table in a motel room. The cover-up is quick, quiet, and—for almost thirty years—worth every penny. N0W It’s 1991. At the dawn of a presidential campaign, the secret buried a generation back suddenly surfaces. To one man it means enormous profit—and incalculable risk. To a second man it means solving one lethal mystery, only to uncover another as close as his own flesh and blood. BACKFIRE When the stakes are high, there are no loyalties and no rules—even for top-level U.S government agents. Especially for them.
