The book opens on the terrace of La Fortaleza in San Juan, where the governor’s guests watch searchlights and tracer fire chase a plane across the bay. From there a reporter is drawn into the politics of a small Latin American republic, where a president’s plan to nationalise the mines sets spies, businessmen and conspirators in motion.
