Description
America’s bestselling novelist, Sidney
Sheldon, has created his most
suspenseful, breathtaking book to date –
the story of a woman trapped by a
diabolical international conspiracy. The
action races from the President’s Oval
Office to the hot Latino beat of Buenos
Aires, to the romance of Paris and Rome,
to the shadowy dangers of Bucharest.
Caught in the web of this chilling tale is
Mary Ashley, a bright young professor of
Eastern European studies at Kansas State
University and mother of two, who is
appointed the United States ambassador
to an Iron Curtain country. Even before
she takes up her post she is marked for
destruction by unseen and powerful
enemies, including Angel, an
accomplished assassin who has never
failed to carry out a murder contract.
Alone and a stranger in a foreign country,
Mary Ashley finds herself involved with
two dynamic men: Mike Slade, a tough
career diplomat who is her deputy chief of
Mission; and Louis Desforges, a doctor
attached to the French embassy. But soon
she comes to believe that one of them is
out to kill her.
In Windmills of the Gods Sidney Sheldon
has written a gripping drama with
compelling characters that remain forever
etched in the reader’s mind. It is a tale of
a woman’s heroism against an unknown
terror spanning the whole arena of
international intrigue.
Sidney Sheldon is the author of The
Other Side of Midnight, A Stranger in the
Mirror, Bloodline, Rage of Angels, Master
of the Game and If Tomorrow Comes. All
