Description

A Death in Geneva is a fast-paced thriller set against the background of late-1970s terrorism that crisscrosses Europe, the United States, the Mediterranean, and the Atlantic as mysterious assailants terrorize one of America's richest industrialist families.

The action begins when Constance Burdette, the newly appointed American ambassador to the European office of the United Nations - and the President's secret lover - is cut down by machine gun fire in a bloody, well-planned strike against her chauffeured limousine in Geneva. The three assassins, continue their attack by stalking the late Ambassador's brother, Thomas Madison Starring, America's leading shipbuilder and owner of an international shipping fleet. As the assassins close in on their prey, the tense plot moves to a final, devastating act of terror.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"A Death in Geneva by Denis Clift has a great unfolding plot and flow, sophisticated dialogue, superb character development, and artful locational descriptors worthy of the author's well-traveled and worldly background. This is a refreshing and worthy read, guaranteed to please." (ADM. William O. Studeman, USN (Ret.), former Director of NSA and former Deputy director of CIA)
"What an absolute gem of a novel, superbly conceived, deftly developed, and stylishly written with unmistakable authority by a person who knows a thing or two about the frightening world he profiles, and the no-nonsense people who inhabit it. First published in 1987, A Death in Geneva prefigures – and speaks eloquently – to the post 9/11 world we now inhabit with remarkable prescience. Bravo, Naval Institute Press, for introducing the fiction of A. Denis Clift to a new generation of readers." (Nicholas A. Basbanes, author of On Paper: The Everything of Its Two Thousand Year History and A Gentle Madness: Bibliophiles, Bibliomanes, and the Eternal Passion for Books)
"Seldom if ever does an author possess the relevant skills—scholarship, elegance of expression, insight into the several dimensions of character, and a commanding personal grasp of subject matter (in this case of diplomacy, intelligence gathering, and international politics)—to craft a novel of such authenticity and profoundly absorbing style as Denis Clift has achieved in A Death in Geneva…Clift draws you into an absorbing plot that combines ideological conflict, towering personal ambition by giants of industry and politics, hubris, and passion—spread artfully over a canvas that extends from Malta to Geneva, New York, and Washington—and leaves you breathless on every page. It’s Kissinger, Bill Gates, and Le Carré at their best. I couldn’t put it down." (Robert McFarlane, National Security Adviser to President Ronald Reagan)
