Synopsis of Cocaineros Duel by John J. Gilmore
Published Dec. 2010 by Mainly Murder Press, Wethersfield, CT
Broken police detective Frank Reardon is struggling to rebuild his life while being the only one able to save others. Abandoning Connecticut after failing to capture his wife’s murderer, he attempts to get lost in Costa Rica. While there, he is drawn into the rescue of an old girlfriend captured by the cocaineros, a drug gang. He is helped by a collection of unlikely allies, including a washed-up CIA operative, a U.S. counter-insurgency team, a mysterious Washington intelligence official and the Cuban Air Force. Frank’s war concludes with a dramatic gun battle on the streets of Frank’s hometown, Bridgeport, Connecticut.
