Mumm's Curse

“This latest novel in the Mumm series is even better than the first…”
- Hollis George, editor and anthologist

“Like a .22 bullet loaded with testosterone…”
- H.L. Osterman, Short Changed

“My second favorite spy novelist … but it’s a close call because Banks tosses in more sex than Le Carré.”
- Byron McCafferty, Online Critics Corner

That trying-to-be-retired CIA shooter Leslie Carroll Mumm returns with his beautiful island-born wife in a second adventure that involves murder, blackmail, a female assassin named Charlie, an oversexed albino televangelist, and a crack sniper working for the Libyans. High-caliber shoot-’em-up action for less than the price of a couple of bullets.

Barthélemy Banks is the former supervisor for a publishing company secretly backed by the CIA. He spent a number of years in the Bahamas where he rubbed elbows with spies, smugglers, international bankers, and reclusive millionaires. Today, he lives on a remote island, where he finds it safe to write about the clandestine world he knows so well.
