Synopsis for "Deathblow"
In the Central American country of Costa Mesa, International Operations operative Michael Cray, a.k.a. Deathblow, is transported up a river by boat. Once the boat docks, he executes its captain. In Washington, D.C., IO chief Miles Craven and Director of Operations John Lynch brief one of Cray’s former subordinates, Lt. J. L. Conrad, on his next mission. They falsely tell him that Cray has gone rogue and plans to assassinate Costa Mesan dictator Manuel Ortega. They then order Conrad and his strike team to intercept Cray in Costa Mesa and kill him. Later, as a skeptical Conrad and his men arrive in country, Lynch questions the necessity of the assignment. Craven tells him that Ortega has become a liability to the U.S. government and is to be taken out with credible deniability.
