I really really like Helen MacInnes. She writes political suspense novels and always includes a little romance as well. This book was published in 1980, but the story could just as easily have taken place now--with some nationalities and ideologies shifted just a bit. It's about terrorists and those that are used by them and those that work against them.
Nina, our female main character, is being used by a terrorist group and Robert, a friend from Nina's youth, chance-met on a street in Amsterdam, is working against terrorism. They meet accidentally and neither knows what the other is involved with. Yet.
Helen MacInnes joins Mary Stewart as one of my very favorite romantic suspense novelists. They both share the ability to completely engage without horrifying. And who can resist a little love interest along the way? I liked this book a lot.
