A taut thriller and a bittersweet love story,
Roman Circus reintroduces Giovanni
Stears, the CIA officer featured in Frank
O Neill s two previous novels, The Secret
Country and Agents of Sympathy. Stears has
returned to Rome, where he grew up and
where he still has ties to the nobility. But the
glorious city of his youth has become an
armed fortress, under siege by terrorists
who have kidnapped and assassinated an
American Army general.
Against a vivid backdrop of palatine villas
and diplomatic receptions, bombs and bru-
tality, Stears is reunited with his former
lover, Gabriella, an Italian princess whose
reckless passion nearly destroyed them
once before. Torn between love and duty,
family and country, sensuality and sav-
agery, Stears soon must come to grips with
the nihilistic Italian doctor and the Libyan
mastermind behind the terrorists--and with
his own past.
Laced with eroticism and politics, Ameri-
can pragmatism and Roman decadence,
Roman Circus is a fast-paced thriller and a
wrenching romance "---as well as an astute
portrait of a society and characters in a
maelstrom of violence and moral ambiguity.
