Book-The Protectors , by Dan Mahoney PB-4673
Mahoney's seventh cop thriller pits a couple of
wise-guy big-city cops against ETA, the murderous
Basque separatist terrorist organization. Once again,
Mahoney (The Two Chinatowns) puts Det. Brian McKenna
on the trail of killers, kidnappers and some very
dangerous perps who thrive on political violence. The
resourceful McKenna is teamed up with partner Cisco
Sanchez, an insufferable braggart whose methods are
almost legal and whose hunches are usually right. When
the Spanish ambassador to the United Nations is
kidnapped in a bloody shootout in New York City,
McKenna and Sanchez are put on the case, which has
some high-profile international angles. The Spanish
ambassador to France and the rich, beautiful Carmen de
la Cruz are also kidnapped by ETA in the north of
Spain in a diabolical plot that is anything but normal
terrorist activity. Aided by international mystery man
Henri Picard and an IRA thug named DuPont, McKenna and
Sanchez have to find the kidnapped Spaniard in New
York before they can help Carmen. Soon the cops are in
Spain, chasing the ETA operatives and their two
captives from Basque country in the north to Gibraltar
in the south. However, not all their allies can be
trusted: McKenna, Sanchez and even ETA are being
skillfully manipulated by someone who has a different
concept of justice and peace. Used Read twice. ISBN:
