The Last Tango of Señor Menendez

A tense thriller of espionage in the build-up to the Falklands War.

John Ridley is deep undercover in Argentina, to all appearances an executive in a Japanese pharmaceuticals firm branching out in Latin America. But behind the bluff, he's taking on the fascist Junta, against the tragic backdrop of the Disappeared of 1980s Argentina. He's a spy away from all the Bond cliches: diplomat, businessman, plane spotter, Ridley is negotiating in the real world, and it's tough. Will the politicians back home in Britain sit up and take notice of the intelligence he so dangerously gathered before it's too late?

Set in Buenos Aires, Patagonia, Uruguay, and the Falkland Islands, as well as Toronto, Japan and London, the globetrotting never stops. And then there's the ladies in his life. Between true blue Andy, hot Latina Cristina and sisterly Maria, he's spoilt for choice.

Author Reg Carr shares a true insider's perspective in this intriguing and convincing tale of authentic espionage, giving rare insight into the everyday reality of a spy's life and true-to-life scenes of military action. From tense action to grey areas of stealth, Ridley's lot is not an easy one but readers will be rooting for him all the way.
