This is not a suggestion for a novel, but rather a true story - if someone 
is making up a bibliography you might choose to include this recommendation.

Where do you go for help if you are in an emergency situation away from 
home, either in the US or abroad? Everyone knows to contact the American 
Consulate abroad, but there is another excellent place for help, in this 
country or elsewhere. It is your nearest religious institution. (Don't feel 
bad if you didn't get the answer - in over 3 years, only one person thought 
of it.)

Several years ago, my husband and I went to Europe on a tour; he had an 
unexpected heart attack which he did not survive. I contacted the synagogue 
in Florence, and was comforted and reassured by the Rabbi that nothing 
would be done at the Funeral Home that wojld be unacceptable to Jews. And 
he sent a lovely lady who located for me the consulate and a bank. Since 
this isn't something that quickly comes to mind, I include the suggestion 
with the hope that no one would ever need it.
