The good doctor, the son of an assassinated Central American dictator, is coerced into working for a politician who is planning the next coup. Whether he knows it or not, he is a spy for the French government and others who have vested interests in his birth country. What it lacks in the spy category it more than makes up for in political intrigue. Along the way the doctor discovers who really had his father killed. As good as it gets until you graduate to John Le Carre.
