The Betrayal Game

by David L. Robbins



      Blending history and fiction into a masterful thriller set in Cuba, The Betrayal Game features history professor Mikhal Limmeck, the protagonist of Robbins' The Assassins Gallery.

Just weeks before the Bay of Pigs invasion, the expert on political assassinations has arrived in Havana to study a man he deems a possible target of an assassin's bullet. Recognizing that Fidel Castro is the rarest of anomalies, a man who can change history, and who, therefore, must be eliminated, the professor again finds himself at the intersection of an important historical crossroad.

With the CIA, a group of Cuban exiles, the American mob and even the KGB setting their snipers' sights on Castro, Lammeck realizes he is a little too close to the action.  Getting swept up in a crossfire of failed assassination attempts and a perilous game of compromises and secrets, it turns out that the professor has more than just an academic interest in the proceedings!

From start to finish, this page turner offers the kind of wild ride Robbins’ many fans have come to expect from the gifted writer.
