In war, all means are good. In a secret war - even more so. Fear, jealousy, thirst for revenge - very often drown out the sober voice of reason. Shocked by the tragic death of his parents and his wife's betrayal, US Air Force pilot Griffith seeks oblivion in the seedy places of Bangkok. And he finds him... in the hot embrace of the charming Parisian Madame Gali. She is also the super agent of the KGB of the USSR “Gvozdika”. The only thing she asks for love and affection is to steal the newest F-16 fighter plane from the USSR, on which “dear friend” flies. The novel is based on true events.
