Infos

In 1974, at the height of the Cold War, a traffic accident occurs late one night outside the United Nations building. Or was it an accident. Anne Thomas, the low-level UN employee who was struck, is at first bewildered by the FBI's interest. Then, as one menacing incident follows another, she starts to share their suspicion that she's being targeted. But by whom? And why? A terrifying discovery finally galvanizes Anne to act with determination to confront the growing threat to her life. A vibrant, intriguing stage setting adds much to any novel, play or film. This novel invites the reader through the guarded street gate of United Nations headquarters in New York to become part of the UN world not seen in televised meetings or on guided tours. From the airless, dingy Third Basement up to the windswept 40th floor roof, the UN building is the backdrop for the dangerous web tightening around a young American staff member who unwittingly finds herself threatened by clashing interests during the Cold War.
