The Ill Wind Contract

The heat is rising in Indonesia in this action-packed adventure by “the John D. MacDonald of espionage fiction” (Larry McMurtry, The New York Times).

When Joe Gall heads to Indonesia on an assignment to acquire a fortune in precious metals, he finds himself in the midst of an attempted coup and a civil war, a bloody battle fought by the military and the Communists. Now he has to guard something even more valuable than gold and silver—his own life—in this gripping thriller by the Edgar Award finalist.
