When your industrial sabotage needs a little racquetball and a lot of attitude.

Programmer's Pick

José Ramón Larraz delivers high-gloss espionage with a distinctly 1979 flavor: oil deals, racquetball, and an all-female squad of deadly operatives. Mercenary Julia Hemingway and her crew serve up sabotage, seduction, and sabotage in equal measure, but it's the double-cross that keeps the bullets—and the champagne—flying.
