instead of fighting revolutionaries, have used that funding to wholesale crack
cocaine in this country's ghettos. In this exciting new novel, Commander Larry
Cole battles these Agency-funded drug lords. Their "personal representative" is
Baron von Rianocek, a hit man. A well-paid professional, known as a world-class
"problem solver," he has successfully eliminated both high-profile British

pin anything on the slippery millionaire, who claims to be descended from
European royalty. Police detective Larry Cole has unwittingly crossed paths

wrong time, he had twice foiled the assassin's work. Now the well-heeled
assassin has a new target. He has set his telescopic sights on the CPD chief of
detectives-Cole himself."
