SAS 24: Requiem for Tontons Macoutes (French Edition)

"This is the head of François Duvalier," Gabriel Jacmel said softly. "I swore to my men that the head of the one who betrayed me would join it in the sack."

"I did not betray you," Malko repeated.

"I do not believe you," Jacmel replied. His hand delved into a slit in his white robe and emerged, gripping a sharp-bladed machete. He extended it to his second-in-command. "Cut off the head..."

Jacmel's voice was gentle as he gestured towards the severed head of the former Haitian dictator. He had made a vow to his followers that the head of the man who had betrayed him would be placed alongside Duvalier's.

"I assure you, I am not the one who betrayed you," Malko pleaded, trying to reason with the armed man before him.

However, Jacmel remained unconvinced. "I do not believe your words," he stated firmly. Suddenly, Jacmel's hand moved swiftly, reaching into the folds of his white robe. He withdrew a gleaming machete, its blade honed to a razor's edge. Turning to his subordinate, Jacmel issued the chilling command, "Cut off the head."
