About the Book

"Speaking directly to supra-national, neo-liberal depredation, Jean-Patrick Manchette and Don Delillo (in Point Omega) are matched by Gerard Cappa, in Black Boat Dancing, and his earlier Blood from a Shadow . As with noir of the mid-20th century, protagonists are not destroyed but potentially redeemed by their own sin and suffering. They force their humanity to come to life. The ultimate 21st century heroism is to struggle for the control of one's own destiny. Con Maknazpy's struggle is a remarkable example - much better and more complete, blissfully anarchistic even, than the nation-loving kind of hero" - Jay A Gertzman, Pulp According to David Goodis "A Cracking Good Tale - There is something about author Gerard Cappa's style, as well as his hero Con Maknazpy, that carries echoes of Dashiell Hammett and the Continental Op. All the classic elements of the detective crime thriller are there: the smart-mouthed dame, nightclubs, les femmes fatale, and bodies scattered across the pages like raspberries on your morning cornflakes." - San Francisco Book Review. San Francisco Book Review "China is a Civilization, America is a Business - You come out of the novel knowing, like Maknazpy, that whatever the truth today, especially if it is truth as defined by the CIA, it will be different tomorrow. The action is non-stop and the sound of the jigsaw continual. This can lead to a dizzying experience for the reader. Take your time over each chapter, savor the dialog and enjoy the pieces coming together" John J Gaynard - author of Green Blood is for France 'Cappa continues the mix of subtle allusion, rapidly paced violent set-pieces, and character reflection - I like the conversations his characters engage in about politics, capitalism, greed' - Prof JL Murphy, California '"Loaded with action, stabs-in-the-back, heart-felt loss, tense standoffs and even a hint of mysticism" Bob Bickel, Goodreads "What Cappa gives us is an intricate thriller with many levels" Randy Johnson - Vine Voice The new cold war is heating up - pump primed by oil and the race to control the pipelines. Cyber warriors mine the dark side of international finance to destabilize the enemy. Their money trail stretches from Macau and New York to Rio de Janeiro, Cyprus, Beirut and Odessa, and the finance lines of governments and gangsters criss cross through Ukraine and Crimea. When Jorginho the Black Hat hacker goes AWOL in Portugal with the secrets of America's role in the Arab Spring rebellions, Maknazpy is enlisted to bring him back - dead or alive. Maknazpy tracks the runaway through the narrow streets of old Lisbon until he is betrayed and the hunter becomes the hunted. Juggling a hot money scam and cold war treachery, Maknazpy keeps one step ahead of his own US handlers, Chinese Military Intelligence, the Russian Mafia and a Brazilian street gang. But this time he is weak. Subjected to scrambled mind games and capricious illusions, Maknazpy freefalls into a crisis of identity that threatens to choke his will to go on - unless he can scrape enough faith to scourge deep into his dark soul for that rugged core of self belief and self knowledge that has lain dormant for so long. Then he might remember what it means to believe, to hope, even to trust. Maknazpy is starting all over again.
