First published 1977
An American journalist arrives in Argentina as the country slides toward chaos. She decides to penetrate the terrorist underground, posing as a sympathizer to get her story. What she discovers shocks her: a secret network where Jewish survivors have become Nazi collaborators, turning everything she thought she knew upside down. Her investigation leads her deeper into danger as she uncovers corruption inside the American embassy itself. She meets a daring pilot who becomes her lover and partner in the deadly game they're playing. But the revolutionaries they're tracking soon turn the tables. The hunters become the hunted as the couple finds themselves trapped by the very forces they sought to expose. Their survival depends on navigating betrayals that reach from the streets of Buenos Aires to the highest levels of American diplomacy.
