room, stare at you, and as is popular in so many of these countries of the old regime, communist intimidation is priority. Rather than play the game it really is best to just give them their bribe and be done with it. If I had the time screwing with them would be therapeutic.
I could almost get used to this harassment. The plane waited. I boarded. It roared off the runway. Armenia was done.
Back home I reported to Taylor on the outcome and the relief he showed was outside the normal. He admitted the fact he knew it was a family member responsible for accepting the diamonds for the government. The tortured and killed recipient was distant family. The tortured and killed cousin was obviously distant family. I did not display sympathy. There is nothing personal in this work.
All in all Taylor’s role was compromised early and until the situation was resolved, his position was held under serious suspicion. Did I really give two bags of camel dung?
Hell. He owes me!
Conclusion
Thank you for downloading The Armenia Caper. I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I did writing it. I feel that I was particularly privileged to travel to Armenia at a time when the country was in transition between the pre and post Soviet Eras. The country and particularly its capital, Yerevan, with a culture and history that spans several thousand years with its ancient remnants of architecture remarkably well preserved, easily begins to play mind games on you. Diplomats at every corner. Business tycoons cutting deals over glasses of fine cognac. Exotic women straight out of Vogue. It’s an intoxicating cocktail and one that makes for good tales of espionage and subterfuge. The Armenia Caper is fictitious. Any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental.
If you enjoyed reading The Armenia Caper, do me a favor please. Could you leave a review on Amazon .
Finally, this is my first book. In my travels I have visited destinations that are not on anyone’s travel posters. There are more books in the pipeline. If you enjoyed The Armenia Caper and would like to know about my upcoming books, just REGISTER HERE.
