A fabulously wealthy French family adopt the orphan, and raise her in Paris as their own, only child. Now Marianne, Countess Didier, she owns palaces and is chased bypaparazzi. She has a relentless need to find her true father. All she knowsis that he loved her mother in 1945 San Francisco and his name is Tim Nordhall--a handsome young U.S. Navy officer involved in high-level espionage then, and now hidden anonymously somewhere under Federal protection. Rumors have grown up over the years--for example, that he has two wives. Tim Nordhall, starting 1942, follows a trail of espionage and uranium from theBelgian Congo to a London blitzed by V-1s and V-2s in 1943-44. His turbulent adventure have him on a torpedoed ship, in the hands of slavers in West Africa, and deadly misadventures with a beautiful Belgian heroin addict. He falls into the snares of a Soviet double agent, code-named Jaguar, who trails him to San Francisco. That city, mid-1945, is the intersection point of two epic wars . It is also the place where the United Nations is being founded as Tim settles in to his newNavy post. Here, he falls into a breathtaking love triangle with two remarkable women. In the end, happiness and tragedy meet on a foggy dock as a mother's and daughter's fates find their ultimate milestones.
