Two heart-pounding
suspense-thrillers by a former
36-year officer of the CIA...
Rookie journalist Lyle Sabael has just uncovered what he thinks could be the most magificent deception of the century. But will anyone believe him?
In a small town in upstate New York, a young woman is raped and murdered. The local sheriff dismisses it as a crime of passion, but Lyle Sabael, of the Plattsburgh Herald, isn’t convinced.
The clues all lead to a secret hidden within the borders of the United States—a secret of such magnitude that it could affect not only the government and citizens of the U.S., but every country around the world.
The sheriff, the editor of the Herald, a retired Air Force general, and a U.S. senator all think Lyle’s theory is beyond ludicrous. But Lyle refuses to let the investigation go. Too much is at stake, and time is running out.
Athens, 1960.
Someone is leaking deadly information...
Michelle Pardeau, a secretary with CIA’s Athens station, has only one life ambition: to become a case officer for CIA. But few women are allowed to be case officers, and she’s got another strike against her. Jack, her father and a top CIA case officer, was forced to resign in disgrace after a secret informant leaked his identity and that of his agent to the Greek press.
Michelle is determined to clear her father’s name. The Station Chief is determined to ruin hers. But what if she could pull off the first-ever CIA penetration of the outlawed Communist Party of Greece—and find the mole?
For 20 years, he's lived everyone else's dream. Now he wants to live his own...no matter who gets hurt.
Brock Stowolski always thought he’d grow up to be a priest. He’s spent the last two years in seminary, preparing for just that.
Then one day he realizes he no longer wants the make-believe, we-trust-in-God, He’ll-make-it-all-right world any longer. He craves the real world—where men with ambition rely on themselves and their own labors to make their own fame, power, and wealth.
Leaving seminary and a devoted friend behind, Brock plunges headlong into a career in design, determined to make it to the pinnacle of success. But he could never dream where his life’s journey would take him...or what his crowning culpa—his life achievement—would be.
