A retired ambassador''s life is in Andy Roark''s hands in this explosive, fast-paced mystery featuring the Vietnam veteran turned private investigator.
"Page-turning . . . the balance of plot and character is perfect" Publishers Weekly Starred Review
"Roark is genuinely likeable (not too tough, but not a patsy)" The New York Times
Boston, 1985. Private Investigator - and former Special Forces operative - Andy Roark knows he doesn''t fit in with the regular clientele at the Harvard Club, and that''s fine by him. He''s at the elegant bar for one reason only: to meet with the former ambassador of Laos. Ambassador Gordon Stevenson has a job for him . . . and Roark''s here to turn it down.
So what if Stevenson''s been getting death threats? After what he did during the Vietnam war, the lives lost under his incompetent command, Roark''s almost tempted to cheer his would-be assassin on. But then Roark finds out why he''s been headhunted for the job. The FBI believe one of Roark''s old army comrades is behind the threats, and only a fellow Green Beret can hunt the culprit down.
Too many of Roark''s brothers in arms are dead. If he can save an old friend from making a terrible mistake, he has no choice but to set his feelings aside and take the case. But old grudges and dark secrets are at play, and Roark soon finds it''s not just the ambassador''s life that''s in danger - it''s his own.
Written by a US Army veteran and New England police officer, The Ambassador is full of dry wit, page-turning action and shocking twists - if you haven''t met Peter Colt''s complex, intriguing hero, it''s a great place to start.
