The Dance Card

from back cover: "Atlaqnta's chief medical examiner expected nothing more than a routine autospy on the Navy pathologist who allegedly jumped from his hotel balcony. Then he discovered the coded card surgically implanted inside the man's body... "Sealed in plastic behind a faked appendectomy scar, the card contained evidence of a massive government cover-up the American people never suspected. The Navy pathologist had obviously been killed to protect that secret-to spare the honor of a President-and the CIA would now be forced to kill again. "When one mans personal patriotism counters the cold imperatives of national necessity, that man is expendable. When he defies an intelligence organization that knows every dirty trick in the book, he has entered a war of nerves in which the only retreat is death." by the Edgar-award-winning author of "Autopsy"
