Sonara: A Jack Novak Adventure

Jack Novak #7

by E. Howard Hunt

Jack Novak returns in another twisted venture, knee-deep in deception and intrigueIn Sonora, former Watergate henchman E. Howard Hunt gives us a "prequel" to his series of acclaimed Jack Novak novels. Set in Mexico, Sonora follows Novak's exploration into the deaths of four Federal drug officers in border country.Reminiscent of the lean fiction of Dashiell Hammett, Hunt serves up a gumbo of crooked cops, conniving local politicians, and good women gone bad. And as Novak closes in on his quarry, in a series of thrilling adventures that ranges from Mexico City to the Mexican desert, he finds he has everything to lose -- including his life.Gripping, fast-paced, and intricately plotted, Sonora compellingly shows Jack Novak -- and E. Howard Hunt -- at the height of their powers.
