John Crosby, who has been called America s
Graham Greene and whose following grows
every year, has delivered his breakthrough novel,
a captivating story of sophisticated suspense that
features two of the most delightful characters to
appear in print in many a year.
Horatio Cassidy, a beguilingly uninhibited
professor of medieval literature and one-time CIA
factotum, is hired by the ageless and beautiful
Principessa di Castiglione to both tutor and pro-
tect her twelve-year-old daughter Lucia. Very
soon Cassidy discovers two things: that he has
developed an uncommon affection for his pre-
cocious charge and that her life is threatened on
every side by people who have resolved not only
to kidnap and possibly kill the child, but have
every means in the world of doing so.
The story takes place in Windletop,a fifty-
five-story highrise of black glass and steel on
Manhattan s elegant East Side, a luxtury dwelling
whose security apparatus, with twentieth-century
embellishments, would rival the most impreg-
nable European fortress of the Middle Ages.
