Plaza Mayor
Continuing from the first volume, ARBAT SQUARE. In this wide-ranging novel of
action, intrigue, adventure, romance and redemption, young California marketing
executive Larry Landay takes a shipment of sophisticated electronics to Africa. There,
he encounters a worldwide crime cartel, supplying weapons and training to
international terrorists, renegade governments, and criminals engaged in human
trafficking.
The American Investigation Agency joins forces with the Russian Security Service and
International Police to try to stop the cartel’s mastermind, a former Soviet general
allied with a mysterious and wealthy Middle-Easterner who, using cutting-edge
technology and taking advantage of porous U.S. borders, seeks to install
suitcase-sized nuclear devices and other sophisticated weapons in American cities
and to destroy important landmarks. This “Conspiracy Thriller” offers surprising
perspectives of the "other side” and ranges from Texas, to Moscow, to Havana, to
Nigeria, to the drug cartels of Colombia and to Madrid, where the subjects—-most of
whom do not know each other but whose lives are nevertheless inexorably
intertwined—are brought together at historic "Plaza Mayor" for the world-shaking
climax.
