The Permanent Observer
Description:... Sarah Cunningham is a serial temp worker, never staying in the same job more than a few months, until now. Her new gig has her restless nature ensnared in a bizarrely personal web of international intrigue: working for a UN Permanent Observer, the eccentric Ambassador de Fluvia, who also happens to be a Knight of the ancient Order of Malta.
What will become of the downtown poet she's always been when her day-job eclipses her creative ambitions? The more Sarah gets to know the fanciful yet very real worlds of the Knights of Malta and the United Nations, the less she seems to know herself; the more she understands her boss, the less she can do about it.
Knights, Dames and Orders notwithstanding, the twists and turns in this book take place across a desk, within a file cabinet, via broken English, an old fax machine, and pipe smoke. Look closely, and unexpected truths will come to light.
