The Pretender Paperback 1543154891 9781543154894 Jeffrey Palnick

The C.I.A. Needs Blackop money and a fresh view for their projects. They turn to the Garment Industry . Robert Palmer a Canadian -American, shady and well connected to the underbelly of the world, and to the underside of the garment Industry, is coerced to becoming an operative in the Agency. Smuggling secret intelligence from China. Arming the Afghan Resistance against Russia. Opium and Hashish from Pakistan. Ganja from Jamaica. Sending drugs to Montreal, Canada. The world is spanned to fuel the needs of the C.I.A., and the garment Industry is a natural cover for it all . Can the cavalier and offbeat outlook of Palmer survive the C.I.A. or will he get killed? He is not your typical stereotyped Agent. Can the "superficially friendly" Palmer navigate the countries, the gangs, the drugs, keeping a little of his sole? He always was on the fringe, but now lives were on the line, as money always brings the worst out in people.
