Features: This book is a political fantasy novel. The eleventh rule of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) of the United States states: Do everything possible to avoid being captured, but if captured, must deny any connection with the CIA. The CIA director assigns a killer to assassinate a Colombian presidential candidate, and the White House determines to seize leverage to replace him. The CIA uses a double-cross to have the killer assassinate a presidential candidate in Country L, and then betrays the killer. After the president of Country L comes to power, he implements a policy of terror and reopens the Cold War. The Mafia helps the killer escape, but on the condition that he carries out another assassination during the president of Country L's visit to the United States.
