THE GIRL WITH SOMETHING TO HIDE A Cold War Spy Novel - Paperback

by Richard Eaves (Author), Mark Pittman (Author)

She's a jewel thief, art scammer and turncoat Cuban spy who helps avert a nuclear war. She's smart, beautiful and kills with impunity. Pilar Rivera has more skeletons in her closet than Jack the Ripper: JFK's assassination, the hit on mob boss Lucky Luciano, the murder of news reporter Dorothy Kilgallen and more. Pilar knows Bobby Kennedy had Marilyn Monroe murdered because she has Marilyn's diary filled with dirty secrets about the Kennedys and their dealings with Frank Sinatra and the Mafia, not to mention the clandestine deal with the Russians that ended the Cuban missile crisis.

Pilar's entire existence has become a deadly game of hide and seek. It only gets worse after she steals a bag full of JFK's bribe money from defense contractors, a suitcase full of LBJ's dirty money from Billy Sol Estes, and one of Fidel Castro's nuclear timebombs smuggled into the U.S. In between, she helps pull off the biggest jewel heist in New York City history.

But the mother of all secrets is the Raphael masterpiece missing since World War 2. Pilar finds it at Lucky Luciano's villa and conspires with master art forger Elmyr de Hory in a plot to bilk Aristotle Onassis out of millions.

Now, Pilar is "it." Everybody and his dog is looking for her: The CIA, The FBI, the KGB, the Mob, the Vatican, the Cubans, the Kennedys, LBJ and Aristotle Onassis. They all want what she's hiding, and then they want her dead. Her only way out -- get them before the get her.
