Last Night in Managua

Two men meet for the first time deep in a Nicaraguan jungle,one an American pilot and businessman, the other a gravely wounded Guatemalan pastor whose wife has been murdered by Somoza's henchmen. Remarkable events have brought them both to this dangerous time and place. Neither is political, and certainly neither intended to get swept up in a revolution. Ron Hartley, divorced, at loose ends, has taken a job representing a U. S. bank in Managua. Once there, what seems perfectly harmless and aboveboard-meetings with wealthy Nicaraguan businessmen,a date with an attractive attaché at the American embassy, a reunion with his former partner's beautiful widow-all turn out to have shocking, life-changing consequences.
