You’ll need to keep on your toes to follow the plot of this madcap heist story built around the display of the Hungarian Royal Crown in New York. With twist upon twist, it’s all over in less than 200 pages – I enjoyed every one of them.
'Reggel, ur, how do you feel about having a cigany looking after the Holy Crown?'
The Hungarian smiled broadly. His English was faintly slurred.
'Gypsies and Magyars always recognize each other, don't they?'
'Like Germans and Jews,' Roman agreed.
Reggel's smile didn't slip.
'The cardinal has explained the situation,' he said. 'I am willing to comply with it, as I will be in charge of security.'
'Captian Reggel is chief of security for the Hungarian mission to the United Nations', Killane explained.
'I bet he is,' Roman agreed.
