The Disposable Man

When a local quarry yields a garroted body with bad dental work and toes tattooed in Cyrillic, Joe Gunther figures it¿s a Russian Mafia killing, rare as that might be in Vermont. But it¿s so very ¿ tidy. So very ¿ professional. Then the CIA calls, inviting Gunther down to Washington for some friendly ¿assistance¿ with his case. Suddenly he¿s caught up in a shadowy game of cross and double-cross¿manipulated by cynical, cold warriors who don¿t seem to have gotten the memo¿and Gunther soon realizes that he¿s a pawn both sides are willing to sacrifice.
