Mazatlan: A Jack Novak Thriller

Jack Novak #3

by P. S. Donoghue, E. Howard Hunt

Mazatlan, the first novel by E. Howard Hunt in a new "P. S. Donoghue" series, introduces ex-DEA agent Jack Novak, an updated Travis McGee with the author's insider knowledge of undercover operations. Novak is hired to find a TV evangelist who has disappeared midway through a tour of Central America. The trail takes him to Mazatlan, Mexico, and leads to a blaze of gunfire, with bursts of sensuality, all played out in the uncharted waters of a war against drug kingpins.

[Suzanne · Rating 1 out of 5]

Misogynistic, tacky, and badly written, Mazatlan is one of the worst books I've read in my life. I later learned Hunt was one of Nixon's cronies, convicted for Watergate. It's a crime this book was published.
