Speed Graphic — Robert Brace

SPEED GRAPHIC is the third Lysander Dalton novel. Ex-special forces marine captain Lysander Dalton is escorted in what is little more than a polite abduction from the jungles of Central America to an aircraft carrier waiting offshore. There, occupying the admiral's chair, he finds an old enemy: Dortmund-the shadowy Washington insider for whom Dalton once ran an operation, one that ended badly. Dortmund has a new job for him: track down Hanna Moran, mistress of Senate Intelligence Committee chairman William Stolper. Moran has disappeared, along with the senator's diary, a document containing state secrets that if they got into the wrong hands would be a military and diplomatic disaster. Moran apparently regards it as her retirement plan and intends selling it to a foreign power. Dalton teams up with Sabrina Grey, an out-of-work airline pilot with a fondness for fast cars and Italian shoes. Together they track Moran through New York's demi-monde to Morocco and then Monte Carlo. The trail leads to Balthazar Kadri-wealthy arms dealer, alleged white-slave trader, and owner of the fabulous megayacht Speed Graphic. Fast-paced and action-packed, SPEED GRAPHIC is another cocktail-fueled espionage tale in the tradition of James Bond.
