My
book DECEPTION is about a team of four European operatives and INGRID, a CIA
agent, who plot to steal enriched plutonium to poison an ex-KGB officer in
London.
These
four men, OSCAR, FERENCZ, ADI and CORNEL, under the Ceausescu’s Romania, had
powerful roles in the political apparatchik. During the 1989 revolution, they
turned against the communist regime. They meet again, as members of the Miklos
Fund Board, in Bucharest Romania.
MIKLOS,
an American multi-millionaire with Eastern European roots, opens the Miklos
Fund to help the emergence of a civil society.
The
team diverts money from the Miklos Fund to finance their plan of stealing
enriched plutonium from the Russia-owned military base of Ukraine’s Sebastopol.
The
team is acting under the guidance of a French op team who, with help from
Italian assassins, plot to kill an ex-KGB officer in London by poisoning him.
They make the assassination appear to be executed by the KGB.
While
working at MIKLOS Fund, Ingrid has several brushes with death.
The
theft is orchestrated by a Ukrainian officer, LISA, who wanted to escape from
Ukraine to start a new life in Romania’s Transylvania. The plutonium is hidden
in three decoy tombstones made of cement.
My inner knowledge of life under the communists and later on, in France, before arriving to the United States, inspired me to write this spy thriller.
ReplyDeleteI am descending from a well-connected European family. While my family at large was victimized by the communist party and the KGB, part of my close family had the privileged life of those serving the communist regime, in the pattern of the victims embracing its tormentors. Such that, through family and friends, I was privy to deep state secrets that were occasionally spilled in my parents’ house.
