Sobre este artículo
Ballantine Books, 23-Nov-92. Paperback. Like New. Never read! Very slight edge wear to cover. Clean, crisp, & crease free. From Publishers Weekly: "Journalist Victor ( Absence of Pain ) here reveals terrorism's human faces--and those of its victims. American TV journalist Sasha Beale is vacationing in Rome and trying to recover from a wrenching divorce when she finds herself at the site of a terrorist bomb explosion. Becoming her network's on-the-scene reporter and new Middle East expert, she is haunted by the horrible scene, particularly the sight of a small boy's body. The attack was ordered by PLO leader Tamar Karami, who is targeted for assassination by the Israeli Mossad. Mossad agent Gideon Afirham, father of the dead boy, is given the role of seducing Sasha--who is scheduled to visit Karami's household in Tunis for an interview--in order to tap her for information. Amidst the horrors and maneuverings, however, their involvement evolves into real love. The author's attempts to convey the blurred edges where emotions, politics, morality and duty meet remain themselves murky. But insider Victor dramatically portrays complex current issues with an absorbing plot and appealing characters. Literary Guild selection." Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Library Journal: "Victor's journalism credentials and close working knowledge of the Middle East and its intractable conflicts give her third novel tremendous intensity and honesty. The heroine, a TV journalist, possesses drop-dead professional abilities. Yet she suffers from an emotional vulnerability demonstrated here by her profoundly empathetic reactions to a terrorist bombing that killed a mother and her young son. Because the journalist is on assignment for an at-home interview with the suspected terrorist, she is marked for seduction by an Israeli agent. The agent, himself a ten on any manliness scale, plans a revenge attack. Eschewing the gory details and technical diagrams common to the political suspense genre, Victor instead focuses on the risks of commitment and loyalty between men and women. Aided by her unerring ear for real dialog, she persuades the reader that true love can bloom under the harsh TV lights and within the dark recesses of espionage. A zesty, vigorous modern romance. Literary Guild selection" Barbara Conaty, Library of Congress Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc.
