Satisfaction Guaranteed. Robert Rosenblum, the author traveled through the Medderterrarian and the Greek Islands, which got him the setting for this book. The author of The Sweetheart Deal has come up with a novel that takes the suspense out of the realm of genre fiction and makes it as special as his writing. From Athens to Washington and back to Greece winds a labyrinth of intrigue in which two former enemies an American and a Russian--join forces against the agencies they once supported. The two men and one woman--risk their fortune and their lives in a scheme dotted by death and shadowed by the fact that even the inventors of the cover stories don't know which ones are real. Harry Niall left the CIA in large part because of what it had done to Chrisi, the beautiful young Greek woman he loved. He became a charter boat captain, sailing the Greek islands. But he is in Washington, broke and boatless, when he is offered a job by a splinter intelligence group: Go back to Greece to buy a KGB agent's defection with a million dollars as bait. The mission seems easy until he meets the Russian. And then it turns out to be impossible. Yet with a million dollars at stake and two professionals to collaborate, why not turn to invention? Here, in a novel with enough twists to delight and confound anyone, is a story as strong in the atmosphere as it is in the plot, as chillingly realistic as it is absorbing..
