- Former CIA man, Bill Fenner, now a downbeat, loner journalist, is sent to Venice to investigate the shock suicide bombing by an American diplomat at a peace conference.
- After an American diplomat inexplicably explodes a bomb during an international peace conference in Venice, killing himself and everyone in the room, CIA boss Frank Rosenfeld calls ex-agent Bill Fenner in on the case. Fenner is forced to find his ex-wife and save her from the clutches of both the good guys and the bad guys, while still obtaining the Vaugiroud report and uncovering the bombing conspiracy.—Daniel Bolton
- Working for the New York based International Wire Service as a reporter, hard drinking Bill Fenner is dispatched to Venice to cover the aftermath of a bombing at a peace conference, all fourteen diplomats in the closed door nuclear disarmament meeting killed including American Alan Prentiss. Fenner is surprised to be given the assignment as there are much better reporters working for the service. Because of the nature of the assignment, Fenner is not surprised to run into his old boss, CIA agent Frank Rosenfeld, who kicked him out of the agency three years ago for having been played by his now ex-wife, Sandra Fane, discovered to be a Communist agent. He is only a little more surprised to learn that it was Rosenfeld who arranged for him to come to Venice, the reason: Rosenfeld believes that Fane, who is known to be in Venice, has something to do with the bombing, and wants Fenner to draw her out into the open. Dr. Pierre Vaugiroud, a political analyst, had been doing research on behalf of the IWS on the peace negotiations, and is more central to the bombing than Fenner could have imagined as Vaugiroud has concluded that it was Prentiss who acted as the suicide bomber.—Huggo
