Manana Man - Softcover
REVENGE
When mob hitman Jack Terranova knocks off a CIA man in Cali, Colombia, he unleashes the fury of the dead man's friend, a mild-mannered sailor from California named Bueno, former occupation: Snake Hunter.
CONSPIRACY
Terranova works for Diego Cardona, former major in the Nicaraguan secret police. Along with a secret "action group" of U.S. espionage hotshots, Cardona has masterminded a plan that hinges on stolen missile guidance systems, political assassination, and six divisions of U.S. Marines. But the plan doesn't include Bueno.
SUSPENSE
With the clock ticking down, Bueno finds himself on a trail marked by dead bodies, beautiful women, and desperate men. What started out as a personal vendetta has led into a devious network of intrigue that stretches from South America to Silicon Valley and from Washington, D.C. to a tiny island off the Nicaraguan coast.
Maņana means tomorrow. Tomorrow may never come.

About the Author:
Born in San Francisco, California, Christopher Newman wrote the first draft of his third published novel, Manana Man, while in residence in Cali, Colombia his senior year in college. At 27, he moved to New York City, working as a trim carpenter for five years in Manhattan before publishing his first Joe Dante novel, Mid-Town South, in 1985. When that title met with considerable commercial success, his publisher convinced him to turn his protagonist into a series character. Eight more Joe Dante novels followed, all making various national best seller lists. Mid-Town North, published in 1991, was nominated for an Edgar Allan Poe Award by the Mystery Writers of America. Chains of Command, left unfinished at the time of best-selling author William Caunitz' death in 1998, was completed by Mr. Newman at the estate's request. It was named a 1999 New York Times Notable Book of the Year.
