In Mazatlan, published by Donald I. Fine, Inc., in 1993, E. Howard Hunt reintroduced readers to Jack Novak, the ultimate master undercover man. Ixtapa is the next siren port of call for Novak, who needs all his survival wits to stay alive in a mesh of dealings and double-dealings south of the border. High-flying adventure set amid the gorgeous coastlines of Mexico's resort towns, Ixtapa is a unique mission that gives the ex-DEA agent, free of self-serving federal agendas, a once-in-a-lifetime chance to take matters and justice into his own hands.
E. Howard Hunt was an American intelligence officer and writer. Hunt served for many years as a CIA officer. Hunt, with G. Gordon Liddy and others, was one of the Nixon White House "plumbers" — a secret team of operatives charged with fixing "leaks." Hunt, along with Liddy, engineered the first Watergate burglary, and other undercover operations for Nixon. In the ensuing Watergate Scandal, Hunt was convicted of burglary, conspiracy and wiretapping, eventually serving 33 months in prison.
