Flint Rock is retired after thirty years as a professional pilot. He lives alone in San Marcos, Texas. He meets a friend in San Antonio for a drink at the bar of the Menger Hotel next door to the Alamo. Teddy Roosevelt recruited men to follow him up San Juan hill in Cuba at the Menger Bar. Surrounded by Spanish American War photos, in a warm ambience of aged dark wood, Flint's chat with his friend was interrupted when a strikingly attractive woman with long blond hair laid a business looking card on the table in front of him. On it was elegantly printed: "I have heard how good you are, and I want to meet you." The woman left the bar. The card had her name, email address, and a phone number. As it turned out, the woman is a psychiatrist in private practice in Austin, Texas. She has a problem. Someone has tried to kill her and she has no idea who or why. Flint gets involved when there is an attempt on his life because of her communicating with him. Flint's investigation takes him to Italy to the Amalfi Coast. He is shot at in the Roman ruins of Pompeii and again in nearby Naples. In a surprise twist Flint and his psychiatrist client meet an Indian guru in Athens where a crucial clue is uncovered. Attempts at assassination happen in the shadows of the Parthenon. Surprises happen all the way to the end of the story.
