...plot gets rolling in the fall of 1969 when an idealistic young CIA agent named Tom Rogers reports for duty in the "enchanted city" of Beirut. "It was a city of confluence, where two cultures -- East and West -- met to produce a steaming and sensuous vortex, like the collision of two ocean currents." The only shadow on this idyllic scene is the restive presence of the Palestinians, and keeping tabs on them and their leaders becomes Tom's job. Before long he establishes a tenuous contact with Jamal Ramlawi, a handsome, brooding young man reputed to be a rising star...

People who want to find out if Grace Kelly was a sensuous woman need only see To Catch a Thief. They will satisfy their curiosity, and Grace will be allowed to rest in peace...
...year mail-order affair with the London bookseller Marks & Co. Hanff, an aspiring Manhattan writer, never met Frank Doel, the antiquarian across the sea, yet their business correspondence about old books gradually took on the intimacy of love letters about literature.
