Synopsis

It was 1953, and nothing could shake William Denning’s resolve to leave the army and return to the States. Nothing, except one of the largest diamond hauls ever—which, in the wrong hands, on the wrong side of the Iron Curtain, was a potentially lethal force.In a small village in the Swiss mountains, Denning discovered that there was not only a jewelry robbery at stake. In the ruthless world of espionage and international conspiracy his adversaries were the most unlikely people—and the most dangerous.

I would enjoy her books completely except for the fact that I am not very politically minded and sh......more

Nothing could convince him otherwise… well, nothing except maybe one of the largest diamond hauls ever, which can only mean one thing… trouble. Set against the backdrop of breathtaking scenery in Switzerland, Denning di......more

Goodreads review by Tiffany on September 03, 2022

The cover states "A haunting novel of romance and suspense." Snake oil and nonsense! It's nothing of the kind. It's 50% of that statement - it's a novel and it is suspenseful.
