Sandinista Police Captain Ajax Montoya is six days sober and losing his mind. How else to explain his nights waking in bed  his hand wrapped around that bloody-minded stiletto from the old days  or the presence outside his window  a face with no eyes watching him? How far the heroic have fallen. Ajax was once the gallant comandante guerrillero. A hero of the Nicaraguan revolutionaries in their long uprising against the Ogre and his hated National Guard. Back then hed been the guy who got the bloody missions -- as a lowly grunt with that blade  or the commander of an entire front. Back then he knew what was what and who to trust. But as the clarity of war gave way to the hazy reality of peace  Ajax fared less well. And after he took the fall for an assassination he had no part of  he tumbled into a bottle  and maybe out of his mind. Now hes a homicide investigator in Managua solving murders and sweating through the nightmares from his guerilla days. When hes called to investigate a robbery turned gruesome murder  Ajax recognizes the marks of a surprising enemy - the CIA mercenary army known as The Contra. This isnt just a random murder; this is an execution  a call to war. Or is it? And why does no one want to know but Ajax? As the bodies pile up and a red-headed gringa who should be his enemy enchants his thoughts  Ajax questions whether he can stay sober  sane  and alive long enough to figure it all out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45648138305589,"sku":"ByrdShop_1250048028","price":37.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781250048028.jpg?v=1781710707","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/night-of-the-jaguar-a-novel-9781250048028","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
