The Devil to Pay

Did the CIA murder JFK? Or did it and the KGB simply stand aside while Castro did? Are all groups still trying to hide the truth?
If not, why are all these old retired spooks still trying to hide their bloody footprints?

A yacht delivery crew is accosted in the Bahamas by spooks looking for something hidden aboard their boat. Then a strange rescued woman and foreign operatives endanger them further. Superior seamanship gets the boat to safety in Miami, but safety for the boat is not safety for the crew...for they know too much.

EXCERPT

Matt led a pretty interesting life, but it had certainly never been this interesting. Until yesterday, he had not seen an automatic weapon up close. But now, in less than one normally tranquil, tropical night, his life had been threatened by two.
She stared at him over the muzzle of the Uzi and as he raised his hands, the last remnant of the torn shirt fell away and he stood naked before her.
REVIEWS:
"I was immediately captivated by the rich language used in setting descriptions. The pacing is quick, making this book a page-turner. Mr. Parola is extremely skilled with dialog."-- Writer's Digest
"An absorbing tale of hidden motivations that keeps the reader guessing until the end " The Devil To Pay" is enthusiastically recommended.-- Midwest Book Review
