Overview
In Mazatlan, published by Donald I. Fine, Inc., in 1993, E. Howard Hunt reintroduced readers to Jack Novak, the ultimate master undercover man. Ixtapa is the next siren port of call for Novak, who needs all his survival wits to stay alive in a mesh of dealings and double-dealings south of the border. High-flying adventure set amid the gorgeous coastlines of Mexico's resort towns, Ixtapa is a unique mission that gives the ex-DEA agent, free of self-serving federal agendas, a once-in-a-lifetime chance to take matters and justice into his own hands.Editorials
Publishers Weekly -
In this amalgam of tired heroics and lame prose, a courier is killed aboard a Miami-bound plane by a man dressed as a woman; the killer is then (accidentally) dispatched by an overzealous passenger. A government agency decides to intervene by putting their man in place of the courier, substituting play money for the $4 million found in the courier's briefcase and seeing what happens when the plane lands in Mexico. Chosen for the gig is Jack Novak, stalwart protagonist of Hunt's Mazatlan-once a DEA operative, now a charter fisherman and still adept at spouting macho platitudes. He is also monumentally dull, a larger-than-life cardboard hero whose convoluted escapades in various Mexican locales are unlikely to arouse, not to mention sustain, much interest. (Nov.)Book Details
