• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

On the eve of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Catherine Johnson is working undercover in Russia's Warsaw embassy. A US Army major, she completes her twenty, moves to Russia, adopts a Russian girl, and marries a Russian general. Obviously she is an American spy. The Russians know she is a spy. Everyone knows she is a spy. No one cares. Their concern is the planned invasion.
Besides taking her seven year old daughter to ballet practice and running the embassy in Warsaw, Catherine digs deep into the Ryniak family. The men are politically connected. The wife, Marta, runs a social media company heavily into anti-Russian propaganda. Catherine and Marta become close. They travel together to the Russian city of Kaliningrad for reasons only known to the Ryniaks. A week later, Catherine is taken to the annual retreat of a fringe political party. Held captive in an ancient Austrian hunting lodge, she must protect herself and her daughter while watching a family play out its political ambitions.

Autorenporträt

I have three sets of books here. The first is an alternative history of the US, envisioning how things might have gone had the French prevailed in the French and Indian War. That series comes from some personal experiences. I have canoed sections of the Fox, and driven along its banks. I have followed the voyageur route from the Sault to Quebec and traveled from Green Bay to New Orleans by car and by boat. My wife and I have spent many happy days on Mackinac Island and in Door County.

The Jessica Thorpe series is very different. It takes place in the tiny town of Amberg, Wisconsin, a place where I used to live. I wanted to describe that town and its troubles. Initially the novel involved a militia take over of the town, and it was called "Two Angry Men." But both men were predictable and boring. I had decided to have the story narrated by the town bartender - Jessica - and I soon realized she was the most interesting character in the book. She became the lead in the Jessica Thorpe series.

I restarted the series with a fight over a proposed water plant with Jessica balancing environmental rights and business rights. I put Jessica right in the middle of a real problem we are experiencing here in Wisconsin (and most other places). How badly does a tiny town need jobs? How much environmental damage should we accept?

The third series changes the lead character. Catherine Johnson solves mysteries. She also travels. It took her to many places I have been. The last several books take place in Russia. I admit I have no idea what is motivating the current madness there. Catherine looks, she tries to help, she struggles. What else can any of us do?
