I enjoy the cosmopolitan bustle, sidewalk cafes, the museums of Berlin, Rome, Vienna, London, Budapest, and Paris. Many capitals feature in my stories of intrigue..."Murder Without Pity" (Paris), "The Killing Ploy" (London, Berlin, Paris, and Lugano), "Darkness and Blood" (London and Paris), "Winston Churchill's Renegade Spy" (London and Zurich), and "Where the Bones Lie" (Berlin.) I'm also researching a sixth novel, this one to be set in 1947 Palestine.

A famed American woman reporter goes missing in the chaos of post-WWII 1946 Berlin. Her equally famous lover, an ex-Winston Churchill spy and famous NY City detective, sets out to find her. He has no idea what he has stepped into.
1940, Adolf Hitler's military has conquered most of Europe. Western civilization is on the brink of collapse. Only one nation stands to fight his tyranny. Not isolationist America. Not fascist France or Italy. But Great Britain with its newly installed prime minister, Winston Churchill. But a German spy plots to aid Hitler within Churchill's government, and time is running short.
A former American spy, now in hiding, and his former CIA handler are on the run in Europe from governments after they unearth damaging, top-secret information. Set against a backdrop of paranoia, surveillance-infested London, whistle blowing, and high-level backstabbing at MI5, Britain's domestic intelligence agency.
Several years after 9/11. Pablo de Silva, mother, a tennis champion; father, a wealthy, but now bankrupt Swiss hotelier, walks into the American embassy in Switzerland and volunteers to work for the CIA. Accepted, he does admirable work for them. Then tragedy strikes, devastating him. He becomes yesterday's man, mostly written off. Except by his CIA mentor, who gives him a second chance.
Paris...a tourist mecca and glamorous, elegant, cosmopolitan capital of France. But also a dangerous city. Dangerous if you seek to confront the past. Dangerous if you look too closely into the past. And dangerous if you are a state criminal investigator like Monsieur Stanislas Cassel, grandson of a French writer, who sided with the Nazis during their World War II Occupation of Europe.
