A death in Geneva: a novel

'A Death in Geneva' is a thriller set against the background of late-1970s terrorism in Europe.

The novel crisscrosses Europe, the United States, the Mediterranean, and the Atlantic in tense and violent action pitting terrorists against one of America's richest industrialist families.

Constance Burdette, the American Ambassador to the European Organizations of the United Nations, is cut down by machine gun in a bloody, well-planned murder in the streets of Geneva.

She had been the President's lover. In search of the Ambassador's killers, Hanspeter Sweetman and Pierce Bromberger, American special agents handpicked by the Director of Central Intelligence, begin the tracking, working with intelligence operatives across the globe.

The nation did not want to lose another battle in the war against mindless violence - and the President was monitoring the operation.
