Lawrence Block wrote this military noir early in his writing
career about Paul Kavanagh, an ex-Green Beret who retires
from the trade.
What's interesting is that Paul falls in love with his
solitary, Crusoe-like life on a deserted Florida Keys island.
George Dattner hunts up Paul, and they plot to steal a
shipment of nuclear weapons from the military in the
Dakotas.
Paul tells their caper in a low-keyed, conversational manner.
He gets so far in, you're left wondering if he'll ever get
back to his island paradise a million dollars richer.
This novel goes, and is one of the better
retired-from-the-spy-trade crime books I've read.
