Summer time means lots of time by the pool and at the beach and for me that usually means I have a book in my hand. I do love an occasional chick flick book but what really gets me into reading is excitement and adventure and The Argentine Triangle: A Craig Page Thriller has all that and more.
Hard on the heels of The Russian Endgame comes author Allan Topol‘s next great thriller. Rife with the exotic backdrops and hairpin plot turns that put Topol on the best-seller list, THE ARGENTINE TRIANGLE is a heart-stopping foray into human vice coupled with power accelerating towards catastrophe.
After a fall from grace and drastic cosmetic surgery in Switzerland, former CIA director Craig Page is enjoying a new, exhilarating life racing cars across Europe. But when new dangers threaten America and an old friend goes missing during a covert mission in Argentina, will Craig be ready to step up to the plate?
Undercover in the glamorous world of Buenos Aires? wealthy elite, Page finds himself on the brink of a terrible discovery. General Estrada and Colonel Schiller have plans for Argentina, but that’s only the tip of the iceberg. A world of brutality hidden in the classified secrets of Argentina’s Dirty War comes to light, painting an image of the cataclysmic future awaiting Estrada’s South America. To expose Estrada and put an end to his plot, Page is forced to implement every instinct, skill, and tool in his arsenal. But when it comes time to close in for the kill, Page meets with unexpected complications?love, lust, and a lethal game of cat and mouse.In a world fraught with global conspiracy, Craig Page is king.
Allan Topol is the author of eight novels of international intrigue. Two of them, SPY DANCE and ENEMY MY ENEMY, were national best sellers. His novels have been translated into Japanese, Portuguese and Hebrew. One was optioned and three are in development for movies. His new novel, is the next in the Craig Page series, following the successful THE RUSSIAN ENDGAME, CHINA GAMBIT and SPANISH REVENGE.
In addition to his fiction writing, Allan Topol co-authored a two-volume legal treatise entitled SUPERFUND LAW AND PROCEDURE. He wrote a weekly column for Military.com and has published articles in numerous periodicals including the New York Times, Washington Post, and Yale Law Journal. He is currently a blogger for Huffington Post.
After being kicked out of the CIA he changes up his life complete with a new look but not for long as he is put into another operation but this time completely off the books. In Argentina he is there to find a friend but what he discovers is much worse as secrets are revealed from the Dirty War and he must stop it or the results could be devastating. Topol does a great job of creating a storyline that is entwined with factual events and left me eager to follow the main character throughout his mission.
I have not read any of the other Craig Page books before this one but it did not affect my enjoyment of this book. The prologue was helpful in giving me key facts that I needed to know to fully understand this novel. I am a huge fan of books in a series since I never want the fun to stop. I am always a little sad when a book ends and it was no different with this book. I will definitely be going back and reading Topol’s other books and I will get to know Craig Page even better. A great thriller that was fast paced enough that I did not want to put it down. If you need a page turner that you want to be completely immersed into than this book is it!
