Marilyn M. Schulz

4.9/5 (13796 ratings)

Description:Mid-1990sYears ago, Natalya McAran, a mathematical genius, was inducted into the KGB at the tender age of 13. . . or 14. . . or 15. . . reports vary, Soviet orphanages were careless that way. When the Soviet Union fell, Natalya came to America in search of her murdered father's family, but found she was alone in the world but living the American dream, running a high-tech security firm in Seattle whose one little problem seems to be that some of her customers lately have occasionally turned up dead.Corporate espionage bleeds into international intrigue when a few cookie-cutter corpses in Armani suits are found floating in some of the small neighborhood lakes around Seattle. Nobody seems to miss the men much, no one has reported them missing. Assistant City Prosecutor Leo Bright is only making such a fuss because he's running for Congress, but murder is the usual fare for Lt. Caison Diego, a homicide detective in the city.The victims were dispatched with professional flare, the best that money could buy. The FBI has sent a special team to Seattle because there have been other murders in other high-tech towns in the last two years. Cais Diego doesn't mind the company, but he does mind the interference. And worse, the CIA is also poking around. He knows the look of such men well enough, because his boss, Ben Thorson, used to be one.And why wouldn't an ex-KGB agent be the prime suspect? Marc Kellison, her partner, might know who's killing his former colleagues. He used to work for TDC in Moscow, same as the victims. That's where he met Natalya: She was used as bait then, what about now?Natalya's mother was a geophysicist who discovered massive oil reserves in the Caspian Sea, and her father was a musician of some note. Why were they killed, where is her mother's research, and what's this got to do with all the corpses now? Cais Deigo wonders if this is about oil, or intrigue? Or maybe it's as simple as revenge. He never did much like games, but if Natalya wasn't born to play, she's certainly taken a liking now."Children are remarkable for their intelligence and ardor, for their curiosity, their intolerance of shams, the clarity and ruthlessness of their vision." - Aldous HuxleyTHE FACTS:Azerbaijan, ‘the land of fire,’ was a holy place to the ancient religions of the region. Chronicles from the 10th century tell of the ‘eternal pillars of fire’ on the rugged Aspheron Peninsula, a dry rocky extension of the Caucasus Mountains jutting into the Caspian Sea.In the 13th century. European explorer Marco Polo wrote of a spring here that produced oil which was ‘good to burn,’ but not to eat. Centuries of wars and empires eventually left much of this area under Russian, then Soviet, control.During World War II, Adolf Hitler tried desperately to capture the oil fields here, but failed in a move that some claim caused the Nazi's eventual defeat. After the war, the Soviets left the reserves undeveloped, partly as a plan for future use, but perhaps also in concern for the caviar harvest in the Caspian Sea, a source of income and status to the Soviet government.When the Soviet Union disintegrated in 1991, a feeding frenzy for oil rights and development between the former Soviet bloc countries in the region and neighboring Islamic regimes sent oil corporations and western governments into an insatiable competition called the "Great Game" by some in the international intelligence community.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
