Consul Rome
The Dangerous Years
by Randolf Harrold

---

It’s 1978. Mid-career diplomat Rob Kingman is hand-picked from a sleepy government job in Canada to take on an assignment in Rome, where a national political crisis triggered by the kidnapping of former Prime Minister Aldo Moro by Red Brigade terrorists is unfolding. Kingman struggles to navigate the dangerous currents of power and influence little changed from Roman times. Threatened by sinister interests, his adventures embroil him in far-right-wing plots, national uprisings, kidnapping, murder, and lies. All the while, he pairs up with intelligent, tenacious women in London, Paris, and Rome. Friendship and trust develop into passion, intrigue and danger that lead to unexpected consequences in the end in Teheran, risking Rob’s life.
