208 page mass market paperback titled KILLING CASTRO by Lawrence Block/ Hard Case Crime (HCC-051), ISBN # 978-0857683311, First printing (unstated), January 2009/ There were five of them, each prepared to kill, each with his own reasons for accepting what might well be a suicide mission. The pay? $20,000 apiece. The mission? Find a way into Cuba and kill Castro. This breathtaking thriller, originally published the year before the Cuban Missile Crisis under a pen name Lawrence Block never used before or since, is the rarest of Block's books-and still a work of chilling relevance all these years later, with Castro and Cuba once again commanding headlines. The book is complete and in EXCELLENT condition with some overall light wear.
