DEA agent Kevin Grady discovers that the CIA is turning a blind eye to drug smuggling by its allies— and CIA officer Jack Lind is at the center of this conspiracy. Lind allows Panamanian policeman Manuel Noriega to become the country's dictator, ignoring his ties to the Medellin cocaine cartel in order to use Panama as a base for an anti-Communist crusade. Grady and Lind become enemies in a war they should have been fighting together, and beautiful Panamanian Juanita Boyd— Lind's lover— is caught in their struggle. From the glitter of Washington's power parlors to the dark heart of an international criminal organization, Black Eagles grips the listener with an irresistible tide of storytelling power.
