OPERATION RED HERRING is a mixture of fact and imagination involving international intrigue. The book opens with discovery of a double murder that is interwoven with the Italian and Russian mafias planning an assassination at Union Station in Washington, DC. A "rogue" section of Al Qaeda learns of the plot and plans its own terrorist act during the 100th anniversary of the national capital's railroad center, using the mafias' action as a diversion. There are several O. Henry-type twists throughout the book that illustrate the definition of a "red herring."
