Mongoose, R.I.P.: A Blackford Oakes Mystery
William F. Buckley Jr.
The year is 1963, and Fidel Castro and John F. Kennedy are plotting against one another. Castro seeks revenge for his humiliation during the missile crisis, and Kennedy has set in motion a plot to assassinate the Cuban tyrant. When the CIA's ace agent Blackford Oakes is called upon to carry out the agency's plan, he discovers he himself is a pawn in a counterplan that — suprise! — calls for his own demise and could lead to the death of millions of people. The result is a tale that roams from Miami's Cuban quarter to Castro's inner sanctum and features betrayal by friends and lovers alike.
