Summary

WARNING!! MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS!!


Jay Renhart used to be a skillful agent who worked in the forefront of the CIA. However, he resigned from the CIA because he had confronted Hume, a director of the CIA in Europe who left Bruce to his fate. Bruce was a colleague and Renhart's only friend. Then Renhart is hired by the American embassy in Argentina as an official handling all their trouble matters. Soon after Renhart's arrival at the capital, Buenos Aires, he meets a wonderful woman at a tanguera. At that time, Argentina has been under a reign of terror with an extremely strong police influence. There is a noticeable distinction between the rich and the poor. People have seen the guerillas often attack the rich and experienced therestless days. While Renhart investigates a jewelry robbery case which has been reported to the embassy, he finds the LAser Sight on sale as stolen goods. The Laser Sight is the latest aiming system which NATO adopts on probation. Guerillas break into the waehouse of a trader and take it. However, they do not know how to use it, so they take it to a receiver.

Renhart pursues the guerillas and arrives at a church. A nun appears. She is the woman whom Renhart met at the tanguera. Her name is Alicia. She dances to earn money for taking care of orphans at the church. Renhart learns that she is an activist for the country's revolution. She works with Father Romero, who was once a fighter of the democratic movement.

When Renhart watches Carlos and the other guerillas, a man comes to look for them as well. He is Alex Azimoff from the KGB, and was once Renhart's rival in Europe. Alex himself gave up the hope of communism, having doubts about his government. Although he can't go against his government's orders, he agitates guerilla activities to disturb the government. Alex informs Renhart that the trader who had the Laser Sight in his warehouse is actually a weapons dealer as well. Soon the investigation for the warehouse attack is discontinued. Renhart obtains the Laser Sight and visits the trader, however, he pretends to be ignorant. When Renhart visits Alicia to inform her that Carlos and his friends are in danger, Renhart learns that her father is a politician and Bruce and another man came to see her father about some deal of weapons. Bruce was used by his bosses to sell weapons through illegal channels. Then Bruce was caught in a trap and killed. When Alicia and Renhart leave a cafe, suddenly bullets are fired at them. His former boss accuses Renhart of selling weapons illegally and Renhart is chased by police. Renhart and Ambassador Stewart plan a big play in order to reveal the truth. With Alicia's help, Carlos and his gang play parts in the plan.

At a warehouse in a port where Renhart is driven into a corner by Hume and killers, Carlos and his gang show up with rifles. Hume is terrified and offers weapons to them. Hume claims that he is a weapons dealer who handles NATO weapons illegally. Then Alex and Ambassador Stewart appear and arrest Hume.

The day comes when Renhart plans to leave for the U.S. Alicia leaves a letter for him saying that she is leaving the convent and starting a new life as a woman. LAter Renhart comes to the tanguera to see Alicia dancing and tells her that he will work at the embassy for a while. The two go back where they met for the first time and start a new life together.
