- 0553804421
The breathtaking new thriller by suspense master David L. Robbins of a conspiracy so explosive, it could only be told as fiction. You know only half the story. Now the other half will blow you away.

Can one man make historyâ€”and can another change it with a single bullet? It was a question that Professor Mikhal Lammeck had devoted his life to answering. An expert on historyâ€™s great political assassinations, heâ€™s come to Havana in the spring of 1961 to seek the answer firsthand. For the more he sees of Cubaâ€™s charismatic revolutionary leader, Fidel Castro, the more heâ€™s convinced that heâ€™s witnessing that rarest anomaly: the man who can change historyâ€¦and who therefore must be murdered.

The wild CIA plots, the treacherous double crosses, the near- miraculous escapes, are already legendary, but it seems as if Castroâ€™s number is finally up. With a massive U.S.-backed invasion of the island looming, a trap has been set that not even Castro can escape. The players of this deadly assassination game are as varied as they are lethalâ€”organized-crime figures, CIA agents, the Cuban underground, even a reclusive American billionaire. And now, perhaps most unlikely of all, a distinguished history professor.

Mikhal Lammeck is thrust dead-center between a Cuban secret-police captain and a chillingly amoral American CIA agent. Itâ€™s a devilâ€™s bargain, one that Lammeck has no choice but to accept, and it will give him unprecedented access to the secret history of one of the twentieth centuryâ€™s greatest coups. Lammeck suddenly finds himself no longer only studying history, but making it. He soon becomes the unwilling mentor of a young man whoâ€™s arrived in Cubaâ€”a confused marine sharpshooter determined to become the centuryâ€™s most infamous assassin.

Seamlessly blending history and fiction into an electrifying page-turner, The Betrayal Game is that rarest of all thrillersâ€”a novel so vividly real, it might very well be true.
