    About this ebook

    After the Cubans settled on Isla de Peligras to eavesdrop on Central American military operations, the CIA decides to covertly eradicate the installation and dispatches a five-man cadre to dismantle the site. Encountering a platoon of army regulars, only three survive a firefight, and to escape the island, they kill a drug runner and cease his yacht finding it loaded with seven duffel bags of cocaine, an arsenal and a woman who heads up the smuggling run to Louisiana.
    The woman kills one of the cadre who tries to rape her and the other two men pass it off as being justified.
    Adequately armed, the surviving mercenaries decide to go ahead with the planned sale of the cocaine then blow up the yacht as a cover.
    Setting ashore in Louisiana with the money after the sale, the woman offers to launder the several million dollars in cash. Her cohort on shore is a pilot who will fly the money and them to Belize.
    Believing that she will inform the cartel, they kill her and attempt to launder the money on their own. However, the rest of the players engage in a series of double crosses, resulting in the destruction of two airplanes and the remaining cash.
    The two surviving mercenaries report the failure of their mission only to discover they had succeeded in driving the Cubans from the island and are congratulated on a job well done.
    One of the members of the cadre had managed to stuff a quarter of a million dollars in an old jacket and he and his partner leave Belize to vacation on an island in the Caribbean Sea with the blessings of their handler from the CIA.

    Leroy Dumont

    Basic (boring) facts: I was born at Ahualoa, Hamakua, Hawaii on April 26, 1935 at 7:39 PM. Attended school in Hawaii. Graduate from St. Louis College (now Chaminade College), To avoid the draft, I enlisted in the USAF but was recruited out of Boot Camp by an "intelligence agency" and served 3+ years in the Far East where I picked up the code name Leroy Dumont (now my pseudonym - don't ask). Resigned and returned to the States to form an outlaw motorcycle club with my partner then, when I almost killed myself on my Zundapp (a real Nazi SS pursuit motorcycle), I decided to go to college for the next fifteen years. Was a liaison aide for a U.S. Congressman along with other political offices. Then burned out and settled into electronics (computer type). Programmed a while in Pascal and a few other languages. Had two wives, one died, one divorced. Six sons and a host of grandchildren et cetera now counting over 22. Spent all this time writing. Retired and now writing full time. See, I warned you it would be boring. All of the spicy, erotic, exciting and illegal stuff I incorporate in my novels. It's safer that way. There is no statute of limits in fiction. Know what I mean?
