The bootlegging of arms into the troubled Arab-Jewish area turns this into an international murder story with a widow's corpse in Florence setting of a chain reaction of killings from Cairo on. Self-centered author Gordon Teague in befriending her 9 year old son is returned to his old love, Julie, and as dead bodies accumulate, his romance keeps up with his investigations. Thick plot and thin characters.
