A shabby young reporter, Henry Beechtree, arrives in Geneva in 1922 to cover the 4th Assembly of the League of Nations. When the League's newly- elected President disappears, followed by another delegate, and another, Henry chases a trail of clues through the assembly halls, chateaux, and lakeside villas of old Geneva, eventually uncovering much more than he intended. Awash in post-war optimism and the petty squabbles of diplomats, Mystery at Geneva is great fun for historical mystery lovers everywhere. This book has been redesigned and re-typeset, while still retaining the feel of the original 1922 publication.

Praise for THE GENEVA CONNECTION: “The Geneva Connection has a menacing opening with a hook and a barb to make the hook stick. Thriller readers are hooked, barbed and immediately reeled in. The narrative mesmerizes from the outset. The pace is swift and the action enough to make any reader’s toes curl in frightening expectation.” —Art Cockerill, Writer and Journalist “I couldn’t put The Geneva Connection down once I started it. The intricate plot, laced with just enough background information to make it realistic and understandable, takes twist after turn until you reach the final destination, white-knuckling it all the way. An intense thrill ride through the world of investment banking, drug cartels, and money laundering.” —Long and Short Reviews “Novelist Martin Bodenham has penned The Geneva Connection, a thriller straddling the City, the English countryside, Mexican back roads and the US Drug Enforcement Administration. With this page-turner, Bodenham aspires to do for fund managers what John Grisham has done for lawyers.” —Corporate Financier Magazine “Bodenham, a dealmaker who made his name in the cut and thrust world of turnarounds, is a fine writer of thriller fiction.” —Real Deals Magazine
