The Persian price

Fülszöveg

Sweeping from London to Paris, from
the Riviera to the glittering court of
the Shah of Iran, Evelyn Anthony
spins a superlative tale of a beautiful and vul-
nerable woman made pawn in the deadly in-

Eileen Fields is not a little apprehensive
when a cable arrives at the elegant town
house in London's fashionable Eaton Square

summons may well mean that her suspicions

is, indeed, in love with another, with a woman
of steel and ice whose obsessive passion for
business matches his own. Deeply wounded,
her orderly existence entirely shattered,
Eileen returns alone to Eaton Square.
But the close security of her London estab-
lishment is insufficient to protect Eileen from
the murderous plotting of Arab terrorists. Ab-
ducted, she is held for exorbitant ransom. The
price of her life: Logan Fields' decision to
withdraw his company from negotiations with
the Shah. What her captors cannot know is
