The Persian Cat

Description

THE PERSIAN CAT The aftermath of the war has left Gil Denby a cynical shell. So when Pinel comes to him with a mission to bring a Nazi traitor to justice, his only question is, “How much will it pay?” When he finds out that it involves Edmund Marlan, corrupt financier, it also becomes personal. And the job couldn’t be simpler. All he has to do is travel to Teheran, get close to Marlan, then convince the man’s mistress, Claire Fayne, to board a plane with him for Cairo, where she will be tried for the betrayal of her husband as a Nazi sympathizer. Simple as hell. Helping Denby on his mission is young Gaby, a war child with worldly ways. Pursuing him is Berkeley, a British agent of questionable loyalties. And protecting the interests of Marlan are Grayle and Drexel, two dedicated young men who take their job very seriously. All Denby has with him is a little china cat to let his Teheran contact know he’s one of the good guys. But the more he gets to know Claire Fayne, the more he begins to question just where his loyalties lie…
