THE HANDLE by Donald E. Westlake
The Story: The Mob makes a deal with Parker to squash an ex-Nazi and Commie who runs a resort on an island owned by Cuba. Castro allows it because the operation pisses off the American government. The mob wants the resort destroyed because its serious competition for Mob gambling, prostitution, etc.
So a deal is made and next the American government picks up Parker and the gang, and threatens all of them with prison if they don't agree to capture the ex Nazi and bring him to the US after they destroy the resort. Its fertile soil for major treachery, and every Parker book features major treachery.
