The Story
SPEED GRAPHIC is the third Lysander Dalton book.
Ex-special forces marine captain Lysander Dalton is escorted in what is little more than a polite abduction from the jungles of Central America to an aircraft carrier waiting offshore. There, occupying the admiral’s chair, he finds an old enemy: Dortmund—the shadowy Washington insider for whom Dalton once ran an operation, one that ended badly.
Dortmund has a new job for him: track down Hanna Moran, mistress of Senate Intelligence Committee chairman William Stolper. Moran has disappeared, along with the senator’s diary, a document that contains the specifics of the US containment strategy for Iran, including the details of which Gulf nations have committed to what actions, and what they were paid to do so, something that if it got into the wrong hands would be a military and diplomatic disaster. Moran apparently regards it as her retirement plan, and intends selling it to the Iranians.
Dalton teams up with Sabrina Grey, an out-of-work airline pilot with a fondness for fast cars and Italian shoes. Together they track Moran through New York’s demi-monde to Morocco and then Monte Carlo. The trail eventually leads to Balthazar Kadri—wealthy arms dealer, alleged white-slave trader, and owner of the fabulous megayacht Speed Graphic. As a young man, Kadri got his start acting as a go-between during Iran-Contra and is therefore someone with the necessary Iranian contacts to convert Stolper’s diary into hard cash.
Fast-paced and action-packed, SPEED GRAPHIC is another cocktail-fueled espionage tale in the tradition of James Bond.
