‘An Unforgettable Affair’ – A new novel

Peter recently announced that he has completed ‘An Unforgettable Affair’. This novel is based on a true story. A CIA agent is assigned the task to destroy the capability of a Russian pharmaceutical company to produce a revolutionary cure for Alzheimer’s disease they had stolen from a US company. The daughter of the woman who inherited the company when her first husband died is a well-known socialite and features prominently in high society. Her conversations with the CIA agent when he visits her parents to report on the theft leads her to see the folly of the life she leads for the first time. She falls in love with him. He tries not to show his interest in her because he was instructed to avoid romantic relationships when he was trained by the CIA. He asks her to accompany him to Moscow to attend a conference on Alzheimer’s disease, to assist him in infiltrating the Russian company responsible for the theft. While in Moscow, their problematic relationship reaches its inevitable climax, and they confess their love for each other. Their relationship remains problematic, however, because he is away on assignments for months at a time, which she is unable to deal with. They have a disagreement when she pleads with him to stop the work he does. When he tells her he can’t, she leaves him and returns to her socialite life…

As always, Peter has written the book in English.
