The Gargoyle Conspiracy — Marvin Albert

An explosion in Rome's Leonardo da Vinci Airport sends a soul-weary American agent on a strange search for a brilliant, mysterious Arab terrorist leader in this tale of political violence and intrigue. And while he searches, the man he is after nears the culmination of his methodical preparations to strike again--with a ferocity that will stun the world.

The opposing destinies of these two men--Hunter and Bel Jahra--lead back and forth across the face of Europe, and deep inside the heart of the "Holy War" being waged by terror groups using tactics ranging from diplomacy and romance to wholesale assassinations. A shadowy world which draws into its vortex the secret lives of people from every rung of international society, from a vicious young hooker to a revered Picasso-like artist.
