THE COBRA
Book ID/图书代码： 10B38191
English Summary/英文概要： The Cocaine industry is worth billions of dollars a year to the drug cartels who spread their evil seed across Western society. Its usage causes incalculable misery, poverty and death. Slowly, gradually, inexorably it is spreading...it is a blight which must be stopped.
One man, Paul Devereaux, intellectual, dedicated, utterly ruthless and ex-CIA special ops, is given what seems like an impossible task. At his disposal, anything he wants - men, resources, money. He will not stop until he has completed his mission.
Up to now the drug trade has been used to world governments attempting to prevent them plying their trade. But up to now, those governments have played by the rules. That is about to change. The rules no longer apply... and a dirty war is about to get a whole lot dirtier...
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 女侍者的手不斷顫抖，幾乎端不住湯碗，很快她被召回廚房。這一切沒有逃過總統夫人的眼睛，她找到女侍者細細詢問，原來她年僅16歲的兒子剛死于可卡因過量。
總統很快簽署了總統令，將可卡因交易的犯罪性質從“違禁藥物”提升到“恐怖行為”。三天后，總統拿到了一份詳細的調查報告，起草該報告的是前中情局特種兵保羅•德弗羅，同時他也被秘密授予一項極其艱巨的任務：痛擊毒梟！經過數日的考慮，保羅同意接手。在長達九個月的準備後，這場前所未有的緝毒行動終於拉開帷幕。 可卡因交易利潤巨大，從生產到提純再到運輸及販賣，包括生產企業、中間商在內的所有參與集團都有各自明確的分工，也承擔著不同的風險，不論在哪個環節上稍有差池，他們就必須為此負責。
保羅在做足功課後找到了這條生產鏈的薄弱環節，他調動所有力量，開始執行他精心制定的計畫，在海空兩方天衣無縫的配合下，保羅就在大毒梟們的眼皮底下，神不知鬼不覺地偷走了整整六百噸的可卡因。
巨額毒品憑空消失，誰都不能接受這個事實。販毒集團彼此懷疑，充滿敵意，內鬥一觸即發……
筆力冷峻蒼勁，敍述語言不溫不火，人物仿照事件的軌跡和性格的邏輯自然而然地發展著。緊張、神秘、變數……在或悲或喜的矛盾中，一個個有生命力的人物鮮活起來。讀他的書，就如同閱讀有關國際政治的秘密檔案，不僅極大地滿足了自己的好奇心，也為平淡的生活增添了冒險色彩。(Ruby)
