It's the 1970s. Tim Parnell, ex CIA agent turned P.I., now working out of Amsterdam. His specialty is aviation crimes. His style is action and an appreciation for lovely ladies.

Millionaire Thomas Garfield's private plane has been blown up and three of the four passengers killed. The fourth is a sexy blonde who was the mistress of one of Garfield's key men. What is the connection and what is the reason? Money can buy happiness but it can also buy danger.

Tim Parnell is called in to solve the mystery. The case takes him from Amsterdam to Geneva to Rome and more. If it is just the international financial world why are there threads that lead to the Mafia? Why does the SEC become interested in Garfield's affairs? What is it that may connect the sexy blonde to the case and why can't he keep his thoughts off of her?

Written with a taste of James Bond without all the gadgets there is lots of action and tension to be found. The plot moves along at a good pace and keeps your interest going.

There is not much found about the author or his books on the internet.
