A quiet doctor’s life is turned upside down by a Caribbean coup d’état in this “masterly novel” by the acclaimed author of Epitaph for a Spy (The New York Times Book Review).
As the son of a Central American political leader, Dr. Ernesto Castillo grew up close to the world of influence and intrigue. But ever since his father was assassinated, he has shunned politics and shut himself off from the world. In fact, Ernesto’s cool, detached demeanor has earned him the nickname Dr. Frigo. He’s is content to live quietly on a small island, keeping busy with his practice and his mistress . . . until his late father’s political party comes calling.
Its rising leader, Manuel Villegas, hopes to put Ernesto to work as his physician. His presence would rally the elder Castillo’s supporters, who are necessary to help Villegas win power in a planned coup. Ignoring the advice of his mistress, whose marriage to a French intelligence officer made her an expert player of political games, the doctor unwisely stumbles his way forward, risking his profession—and then his life.
