The Interpol Imbroglio Mary Jo Grotenrath First edition

From its attention-grabbing opening scene of a body found in an elevator in the Hotel Bristol in Vienna to its surprise ending at Interpol headquarters in Lyon, the Interpol Imbroglio will hold your interest. When delegates at a General Assembly of Interpol, the international police organization start dropping dead, fear sets in that the law enforcement community itself--or perhaps the entire city of Vienna--may be the target. The plot involves organizational politics, bio-chemical cocktails, a shady deal at a cyber-café, fugitive flight and extradition issues, and an unexpected romance between an Iraqi colonel and a German policewoman as war with Saddam Hussein looms. As a new fiction writer on an untapped subject, the author calls on her years of experience living in Vienna as a student when her father was stationed there with the U. S. Army and later as an attorney in the Office of International Affairs at the United States Department of Justice to provide both the inspiration and the expertise for this fast-paced story of intrigue and murder at the highest levels of the international police community.
