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 is a former career diplomat who served in five American Embassies overseas. While assigned to the State Department in Washington, he helped arrange trips on Air Force Two for the Secretary of State. In retirement on Maryland's Eastern Shore, he has created a new mystery genre, the diplomatic mystery, with Robbie Cutler, a young career diplomat, as sleuth. In The Saladin Affair, fourth in the series, a new dimension is added, as Robbie accompanies the new Secretary of State to his European rendezvous with the leaders of six nations - and an Al Qaeda assassination plot.
