hardcover. Condition: Very Good in Dustjacket. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. New York. 1985. February 1985. Norton. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0393018814. 364 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Tim Gaydos. keywords: American Literature. DESCRIPTION - Andrew Chambers is a foreign correspondent for a major American newspaper, and for the past twelve years his assignment has been a small, violence-ridden country in the Middle East called Levantine. Within the space of just a few hours, and through a bizarre set of circumstances, Chambers becomes the focus of international intrigue that reflects today's headlines and perhaps tomorrow's. First, there is the assassination of Israel's ambassador to West Germany. Then Chambers encounters Mireille Demergeant, a beautiful actress, at a reception in the French embassy. A day later, Chambers's Austrian colleague Heinz Vogel disappears while apparently on his way to interview the king of Jordan. His body is found in the Jordanian desert, next to the corpses of a corrupt British journalist and a famed international terrorist. Chambers's relationship with Mireille develops in counterpoint to the mounting political tensions. As he struggles to understand the significance of several acts of terrorism, he comes to realize that Mireille is involved in matters more important and more dangerous than the making of movies. Then Levantine is invaded by a vast Israeli army, and all hell breaks loose. The author has written a taut and unforgettable thriller with a sense of place and character that puts him in the tradition of Graham Greene. inventory #34733.…
