Murder on the Danube by William S Shepard
Mr. Mani is a deeply affecting six-generation family saga, extending from nineteenth century Greece and Poland to British-occupied Palestine to German-occupied Crete and ultimately to modern Israel. The narrative moves through time and is told in five conversations about the Mani family. It ends in Athens in 1848 with Avraham Mani s powerful tale about the death of his young son in Jerusalem. A profoundly human novel, rich in drama, irony, and wit.Bill Shepard was a professional diplomat who worked in five different American embassies across the world. He assisted the Secretary of State with trips on Air Force Two while attached to the State Department in Washington. He has established a new mystery genre, the diplomatic mystery, in his retirement on Maryland's Eastern Shore, with Robbie Cutler, a young career diplomat, as the investigator. Robbie joins the new Secretary of State to his European meeting with the leaders of six nations - and an Al Qaeda assassination plot - in The Saladin Affair, the fourth book in the series.
