When his long-lost love and new bride Clara was brutally murdered in an Austrian mountain chateau while they were on their honeymoon, super-sleuth and undercover operative Roland Troy quits chasing criminals and retreats to the back woods of Vermont. But when his old friend and former partner McKenzie Rockett travels from Florida to ask a favor, Troy knows he can't say no to Rockett's request for help in solving one last homicide.
Troy is partnered up with beautiful, ex-model, Angela Becker, a superb undercover cop in her own right. The two of them quickly find that they are on the trail of something far larger and darker than what Troy and Rockett had initially an on-going international conspiracy that has spanned not only the decades, but generations as well.
This riveting stand-alone sequel to Prancing Tiger (Morrow, 0-688-13049-6), takes the reader from rural Vermont to the swampland of Florida, and into the mountains along the Austrian-Italian border on a hunt for the truth about one girl's past and the history of an entire nation.
Philip Singerman is the author of An American Hero: The Red Adair Story and the novel Prancing Tiger. He has worked as a journalist, TV producer, advertising copywriter, housebuilder, and bartender, and holds a black belt in Shorin Ryu Okinawan karate. A native of Vermont, he now lives in Florida.
Novel covers many years. Too many characters, too many threads, too many story lines. Nazis change their names. Then plutonium and secret ops are introduced to the story.
