Abstract:
Robert Ludlum’s Parsifal Mosaic novel is set during the cold war. Michael Havelock’s girlfriend
(Jenna Karas) is killed by his colleagues at CIA because she is believed to be an agent of KGB.
As a result, Michael resigns and goes sightseeing. Strategists for consular operations of the US
government decide that he is a paranoid schizophrenic and must be terminated, lest he compromise
entire networks across Europe. During the meeting, the idea of terminating his life is opposed by
the attorney because the constitution grants everyone protection and the following discussion
ensues
