Mouflon Brigade (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780980849028)

In the third of the Koniotis Mystery series, the kidnapping of the wife of the Russian intelligence chief on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus, is only the beginning of a chain of horrifying kidnappings and murders to suddenly hit the usually peaceful island. An operation extending over the border between the Greek and Turkish zones reveals that a band of terrorists is operating freely-and with local assistance-on the island. The subsequent kidnapping of a UN official en route to Middle East peace talks in Beirut, Lebanon, and the murder of other prominent well-connected citizens ups the ante in the threat of the terrorist band and increases the mystery of what the band-the Mouflon Brigade-is doing and why.The kidnaps and murders are linked by the tokens the band leaves behind: Identical brochures from the Cyprus Airways, the Greek Cypriot airline, which are marked with the initials "MB" in black marker.Soon the action extends beyond Cyprus to Greece and Lebanon, as slowly, methodically, Takis Koniotis marshals the forces of the Greek Cypriot, Turkish Cypriot, foreign diplomatic community, UN, and Interpol resources to attempt to rescue Caitlyn and the other hostages and to determine what the terrorist band is doing in Cyprus, why its operations are strategic for Middle East peace-and why it always seems to be at least one step ahead of the authorities.Koniotis Mysteries SeriesEach book in this series stands alone, but they are also all connected in various ways and form the different parts of one story.Book One . . . .
