Author Description

Claire Ghest, a landscape architect with a PhD in Psychology, returns home from a CIA mission in the Baltics. Barely unpacked, she receives a call from CIA Agent Violet Janachek of the original Dark Star team. Determined to find out once and for all who destroyed the US spy satellite, Violet and husband-agent Arthur Lang ask Claire to join their mission in Spain where new intel has surfaced. The mission quickly turns into a desperate hunt for a Russian astrophysicist who is at the center of a network of individuals who have the power to destroy our world. But what is he really up to? Can we afford to wait, and risk global destruction? Do we move ahead without knowing what his motives are and risk starting an international war? The gravity of the threat has CIA teams around the globe and the Zokolov Family on nerves' edge trying to keep track of the Russian and his associates. Claire is once again drawn into the covert life of international espionage. Her courage and insight carry her and the reader through the terrors of unknown forces at work that threaten the safety of us all. In this third episode of the Dark Star trilogy, follow Claire's latest adventures in the Claire Ghest Mysteries series.
