A #1 New York Times bestseller, Topaz follows French intelligence
chief André Devereaux and NATO intelligence chief Michael Nordstrom. On
the eve of the Cuban Missile Crisis in Paris, 1962, Devereaux and
Nordstrom uncover Soviet plans to ship nuclear arms. But when nobody
acts after sharing his findings, Devereaux becomes the target of an
assassination attempt and soon realizes the plot extends far beyond
Cuba--and himself. A thrilling and well-paced novel filled with Cold War
intrigue, Topaz features two agents on a journey around the world to
save NATO and themselves. A subsequent film based on the novel was
directed by Alfred Hitchcock and released in 1969.
