Creep Around the Corner (eBook, ePUB)

A Spy Novel

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Europe in the Cold War years was a dangerous place for Harold Bronson and his buddies, draftees commandeered into espionage and counterintelligence. Their low echelon escapades take them to Berlin, Ulm, the South of France, and Zurich. Bronson chooses this time of his life to explore a personal coming out, creating secrets within secrets in a disapproving military. In his off-time, Bronson paints portraits of the other denizens of Schloss Issel, earning money for trips and adventures to Paris and Nice. Always on the edge of life, he taunts the higher-ups with a light-hearted acceptance of life in the spy world of 1957. Real danger is further off from his circle at the Schloss, but it is an insistent melody they can always hear. Other books by DOUGLAS ATWILL, all from Sunstone Press, are "Imperial Yellow," "The Galisteo Escarpment" and "Why I Won't Be Going To Lunch Anymore." Atwill lives in Santa Fe, painting New Mexico landscapes and gardens from his studio on the city's Eastside.

Autorenporträt

Douglas Atwill's early days were in Pasadena, California and Midland, Texas. He served in the US Army Counterintelligence Corps and earned a BA from University of Texas at Austin. After some years in Virginia and Europe, he settled in Santa Fe to pursue painting full-time. From a studio on Canyon Road, he paints landscapes and paintings of his own garden. His work is shown in galleries throughout the nation. Atwill's avocation of house design, small vernacular residences in classic Santa Fe style, many of which have been featured in books and magazines, has brought him a reputation for excellence. He is also the author of two collections of short stories, "Why I Won't Be Going to Lunch Anymore" and "Husband Memory Pickles," the novels "The Galisteo Escarpment," "Imperial Yellow," "The Oyster Shell Driveway" and "Dinner in the Labyrinth," and "Douglas Atwill Paintings," which features Atwill's New Mexico landscape and garden paintings, all from Sunstone Press.
