Espionage meets opera in this tale.
The U.S. Secretary of State is in a loveless marriage. She has invited the Oil Minister of Kuwait to dinner in Georgetown followed by opera at the Kennedy Center. In Act III of Giuseppe Verdi's Otello, a shot is fired, but no one hears a thing. The Minister slumps in his seat. Blood oozes from his chest. The Secretary is only inches away. Was she the target? Was she in love with her guest?
Elliot Jones is a Special Agent with the U.S. Diplomatic Security Service. He is tasked with leading the investigation and soon discovers that the Oil Minister was in the crosshairs of a global battle among the super powers for energy.
