Presents a comic thriller in which the Americans and Russians exchange espionage gambits and a presidential candidate thinks he's Leon Trotsky

When poet Isaak Ginsburg innocently asks Soviet authorities for permission to emigrate, he is sent instead to a Siberian work camp. After two inhuman years, he is released ... seemingly a model of reform. But Ginsburg has a plot for revenge...a devious, bizarre plan which could bring the Soviet government to its knees. With the help of the beautiful wife of a Russian diplomat, a group of dissident Estonians, residents of a cancer clinic - and unconventional CIA agent James Burlane - Ginsburg puts his plan into action. For one year's open emigration from Soviet bloc countries, he plans to seal - and ransom - Russia's most precious national relic ... the Head of State.

In the forests of the world, the mighty tiger is disappearing. A symbol of virility and power, its bones are a principal ingredient in traditional homeopathic medicines-and worth hundreds of dollars per pound on the Asian black market. The latest threat to these magnificent creatures is a well-organized profiteering ring that is trying to corner the market on tiger parts by systematically exterminating all wild tigers. Western diplomatic efforts and economic sanctions have failed laughably against simple human greed and indifference. Bribery and corruption are rampant, leaving CITES (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) desperately fighting for a lost cause. But when the law falls short of justice, there are men like James Burlane, of Mixed Enterprises, a former CIA agent who specializes in delicate international cases. Following leads from Germany all the way to the Philippines, Burlane finds he is not just up against poachers. A killer of women stalks the night, with a twisted fire in his eyes, sensuously painting his naked victims in the buff-orange and luscious black stripes of the tiger before his dread hand seizes the knife.

Terrorists storm into the crowded House of Representatives and open fire. Within minutes, more than a hundred members of Congress and staff lie wounded, dead, or dying on the floor of the nerve center of American democracy. The nation is shocked, the President is in hiding, the armed forces are on alert... But who perpetrated this horror, and why? Are the conspirators foreign? Domestic? A drug cartel? Right-wing militiamen? A foreign country? Perhaps even homegrown seekers of power? Dead terrorists can tell no tales. Enter James Burlane bearing a commission from the President himself. A maverick former CIA agent, gourmet, wit, cynic, and patriot, Burlane asks the time-honored question, "Who profits?" The answers lead him to the heart of a conspiracy that threatens the integrity of the American government.
