Secret

 

In The Glass Rainbow

cleaners almost take out

Dave Robicheaux and Clete Purcell.

These are government employees—or private contractors—

who operate in secret.  They have everything from walkie-talkies

to black helicopters.  Or, in this case, cropdusters.  Airborne command centers.

They make people and evidence disappear.  Luckily, we can still read about them.

In fiction novels.  Set in New Iberia.  If you need someone like this

you know where to get them.  If you don’t have a need to know

they’re secret.  Before Blackwater there was Wackenhut Corporation.

I remember Claude Kirk hired them when he was governor.

To do what?  Who knows.  He was a Florida Republican.

This was at a time when Batista left Cuba.

Meyer Lansky lived in Miami Beach.

He was retired.  Wackenhut is now

G4S Security Solutions.

Wackenhut Corrections

is now GEO Group.

I don’t know what

GEO stands for.

Wonderful WINO.

Private prisons and private

residential mental health facilities.
