America's in trouble. The Senate's at war with itself while the House founders anew. Some judges twist laws. Some journalists bend truth. Riots light up evening skies.
A Swiss financier plans two murders to tip the balance of power his way. What's to stop him?
Three white-collar criminals: a disgraced ex-spy, a blonde with a drinking problem, and a cop forced to retire early. They dare not contact U.S. authorities.
Nonetheless, these misfits are driven by self-preservation. They have exotic skills and dangerous friends. They even have a chance.
This novel is not only a techno-thriller, but also a romantic suspense story, an action-adventure, a crime story, a tale of redemption, and a political satire. Gentle humor somehow holds it all together, no matter how quickly the pages turn. From Us offers both men and women a good evening or two of escape reading in a cozy chair.
Here's what goes on: Until getting fired, Rudy Baskin was the best detective in the New York City Police Internal Affairs unit. He retreated to graduate school. Four years later he had two software engineering degrees and a nice little business on the Dark Web, anonymously trading stolen industrial secrets. He quickly made millions.
Lucinda Ashley's tiny consulting firm also sells stolen secrets. She wants Baskin as a contractor. Furthermore, after three failed marriages, Baskin seems her last chance at a family. It's a very long shot. She's a refined beauty, he's a reclusive boor. Two Russian sisters will help her transform Baskin, however. The sisters once were KGB superstars.
Baskin and Ashley's small firm soon find themselves set up to take the blame for planned assassinations of two U.S. senators. It's all about getting control of the U.S. Supreme Court. The police can't help, so the little firm enlists both its friends and Mossad. Notwithstanding the world-class talent in the ring, the fight between good and evil will be a close one this time.
The greater story, however, might be the clean, beguiling romance that develops between Baskin and Ashley. Jane Austen, herself, might have approved. The novel's ending is one of those warm, unexpected, and family-friendly ones some readers might feel good about for days.
