Publisher's Synopsis
Join Mitch and Polly McKenna as they travel to Istanbul, Turkey, to help the CIA follow the trail of an international arms dealer who has been making contacts all over Europe and the Middle East and Asia to expand his empire. What makes this mission particularly dangerous for the McKennas is that the arms dealer in question might very well be Milan Vasiljevic, Mitch's adversary from Book One of the McKenna Connection: The Zero Line. With dwindling resources, the CIA will accept all the help it can get, and because of that, Liz Monroe gets her first assignment-this one with the McKennas. But the Intelligence world is a small one and a plethora of agents from Polly's past are sure to make an appearance. How will she familiarize these individuals with Mitch? Especially since she had an amorous relationship with one of them-a handsome agent from Italy's Military Intelligence and Security Service. Explaining him to Mitch should prove interesting. The Fifth Bridge, otherwise known as the Galata Bridge, spans a waterway called the Golden Horn, which is the chief inlet of the Bosporus strait. To say the bridge is romantic would be a gross understatement. The bridge has been the topic of many novels and poems throughout the centuries. As the sun sets over the water at dusk, the intoxicating panorama of Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace and the Blue Mosque have been known to inspire love...new or reaffirmed...for many couples.
