Islamorada

Jack Novak #5

by E. Howard Hunt

Islamorada is the third book in the acclaimed new series featuring Jack Novak, hero of Mazatlan and Ixtapa, whose previous adventures have earned him the respect, and fear, of his foes and the praise of his readers. Here Novak embarks on a hair-raising mission in behalf of his former comrades, taking him from a relatively peaceful island in the Florida Keys to a rebel training camp in the Everglades, and finally on to Zurich in pursuit of a mysterious white-haired man with information that could lead Novak to multi-million-dollar Swiss bank accounts, and who may be the key to a malign conspiracy on Novak's home continent.

Reviews

[Glen · Rating 3 out of 5]

Howard Hunt recycled the plot elements of one of his books in his earlier Steve Bentley series into this Caribbean Sea series.

Jack Novack, a former member of one of the alphabet soup agencies is recovering from the events of the last book, when he meets up with a young woman who just happens to be the daughter of an international baddie. They hit it off. She has a sister... And there's a fortune in emeralds.

Novack tools around South Florida and gets himself into a peck of trouble.

Not bad, but recycled.
