Windmills of the Gods

"Windmills of the Gods" is a 1987 novel by American thriller writer Sidney Sheldon.

Plot summary

Mary Ashley, a professor at the Kansas State University is offered an ambassadorship by Paul Ellison, the US president. She rejects the offer because her husband, Dr. Edward Ashley, does not want to leave his medical practice, and she is not willing to be separated from him. She also feels that it is harder to find a good doctor for a small Kansas town than an ambassador to a foreign country. When her husband suddenly dies in a suspicious traffic accident, Ashley accepts the President's offer in order to fill the void in her life. She is sent to Romania, behind the Iron Curtain, where she finds that everyone is conspiring against her.

The world's most efficient and mysterious assassin has marked her for death, thereby plunging her into a nightmare of terror. Only two people—both powerfully attractive and enigmatic men—can help her. And one of them wants to kill her.
