Publisher's Synopsis
A tale of a terrorist operation by dissident KGB agents, who plan on killing all the NATO Ministers at a meeting in NYC, in order to make Russia return to the Militaristic society it once was so the Military regains its lost power and influence."What is her life worth. There is a team here to kill the Secretary. I know, I made the passports." A closed case just turned into a serious threat! Emotions are strong, the action fast, as US State Department Diplomatic Security Service (DSS) Special Agents work to thwart a terrorist plot-against the first female Secretary of State. The threat rises out of a festering need for revenge, personal and political, and puts network-television reporter Frank Lee Collins on both sides. Does he keep his career or help save the Secretary? The action moves from Russia to a New York City Federal Court; from Rome to Iraq, Egypt, Turkey and Geneva, and of course, Washington, D.C. With the help of the Russian Security Service, DSS and FBI Special Agents, New York City cops and informants, DSS Supervisory Agent Molloy and his Group follow the trail of passports to track the "players" in the plot. The passports help connect the dots, if you're a skilled agent and know where to look. Technology and knowledge of federal procedures help the terrorists disguise their "weapon." As the DSS/FBI team starts putting pieces of the puzzle together, the trail leads to assassins and death even for some of the good guys. While the story is fiction, the reader soon realizes that Passport to Terror could be "ripped" from today's headlines!
