To stop it, Tower must find the killer. Standing in his way are two organizations with virtually unlimited power. Tower’s investigation spans Russia, Estonia, Cuba, St. Lucia, Venezuela and Mexico, but he believes the answer rests inside a venerable apartment building in Manhattan. That’s where he believes the plot was made and where the murderer resides.The many suspects Tower confronts include a handsome, ex-Wall Street, multi-millionaire who seems to have everything…an import/export mogul who visits South America regularly…his son, a laconic Olympic sharpshooter with evil, cobra eyes...a cigar-chewing, fat man determined to kill Tower before he can interfere with the deadly plot in play. Even a beautiful Broadway star and her understudy may be involved. Tower’s search for the killer subjects him to kidnapping, torture, a shoot-out, a hand-to-hand fight to the death, women distracting him from Carol, his lovely companion, and the duplicity of a womanizing Russian spy. Tower’s challenge becomes a race between a mass murder of incalculable size and his ability to stay alive long enough to prevent it. Each page glues the reader more tightly to the frightening possibilities that lay behind the story. The suspense builds relentlessly as the novel moves toward Tower’s dramatic showdown with the killer.
