Book Description Hard Target by G. Beahan is a comic novel of intrigue on Newfoundland's oil patch where he spies trip over their cloaks and can't find their daggers. An undercover operative for the oil industry: a fundamentalist preacher from the Deep South who doubles as a CIA agent; a Jaapanese photographer; a teenage sex-pot; a parish priest who would like to be a union organizer; two elderly dogs; and an unhappy RCMP officer are a few of the characters. Set in St. John's, Newfoundland and a fictional area called Hard Shore, this book is as current as tomorrow's headlines. And a lot funnier!
