William Hope ), who suspects that Romanian crime boss Joszef Bostanescu (Tim Dutton ) might have a high-ranking American official in his pocket.Bostanescu's plot involves selling a stolen biological weapon, and such a connection would expedite matters significantly. Bostanescu's Manhattan-based absentee accountant gets his throat slit for dipping into the till, and Nadia Cominski (
