In the shadowy corridors of power and the murky waters of international intrigue, "The Iran Contra-Connection" by Jane Hunter plunges readers into a riveting narrative that blurs the lines between right and wrong, legality and morality. At the heart of this enthralling tale is Elena McMahon, a character who steps away from a life filled with superficial glitz and glamour to embrace the gritty reality of investigative journalism. Estranged from her influential husband and determined to forge her own path, Elena's pursuit of truth leads her down a rabbit hole of conspiracies, arms deals, and clandestine operations that stretch from the sun-drenched streets of Florida to the tumultuous political landscapes of Iran-Contra and beyond. Hunter masterfully crafts a fast-paced, intricate story that not only explores the personal transformation of Elena but also offers a piercing critique of the machinations behind democracies and the lengths to which individuals will go to protect or undermine them. As Elena delves deeper into her father's mysterious dealings and the interconnected web of spectral companies and high-concept schemes, she finds herself entangled in a plot that could shake the very foundations of power. With its compelling characters, explosive revelations, and haunting insights into the dark underbelly of political maneuverings, "The Iran Contra-Connection" is a tour de force that captures the essence of ambition, sacrifice, and the relentless pursuit of truth amidst a world teeming with shadows and secrets.

She had been away, yes.Always good to get back, right.With weather this dry they were lucky to have gotten through Thanksgiving without a fire, yes.No way she was ready to start dealing with Christmas, no.She had sat then in the rental car in the parking lot, almost deserted at four in the afternoon. Four in the afternoon was not the time when women who lived here shopped. Women who lived here shopped in the morning, before tennis, after working out. If she still lived here she would not be sitting in a rental car in the parking lot at four in the afternoon. One of the high school boys who worked in the market after school was stringing up Christmas lights on the board advertising the day's specials. Another was rounding up carts, jamming the carts into long trains and propelling each train into the rack with a single extended finger. By the time the last light dropped behind Point Dume the carts were all racked and the Christmas lights were blinking red and green and she had stopped crying.(page 153)
