Capitol Punishment by Ryne Douglas Pearson (1995) (R72b7) William Morrow and Company 1st Edition HC

The world has changed, but not enough for some. As one element of the United States government strives to build a secure relationship with a tenuous Russian government, another has engineered a plan to topple the Western Hemisphere's last Communist dictator - Fidel Castro. But the Cuban leader will not go quietly, and, as the CIA-supported rebel elements of his military launch a widespread assault on his leadership, Castro secretly readies his trump card - a thirty-year-old nuclear-tipped missile. Intelligence reports warn Washington of the weapon, setting a highly secret search in motion. Moscow, however, sees only suspect actions that threaten to destroy all the progress in post-Cold War relations. As the superpowers brace for a familiar, apocalyptic game of blindman's buff with each other and with a highly volatile Castro, they can only wait for the final countdown to see who will win this nuclear wargame. From Los Angeles, where FBI agents Art Jefferson and Francine "Frankie" Aguirre seek to unravel the mystery of a murdered Cuban privy to Castro's secret weapon, to Washington, where National Security Adviser Bud DiContino must prevent the Cuban situation from sparking a global conflict, Ryne Douglas Pearson combines a masterful technical accuracy with an eerie evocation of past confrontations to present both a provocative history lesson and a riveting novel of suspense.
