Firebird: A Spy Story of the 1960’s
It is 1968, one of the most tumultuous years of the 20th Century. Frank Cooper, a former star investigative reporter now writes obituaries for a popular New York City tabloid. He hears the confession of a dying man named Leonard Rudawski, a former American diplomat, who bitterly questions the fate of Pavel Lukashenko, a would-be Soviet defector in Paris in 1965. Lukashenko promised to expose the espionage secret of a generation if he could get to the West. But the defector, code named “Firebird,” vanished.
Or did he?
Cooper teams with Lauren Richie, a young NY/Latina reporter from the same tabloid. They prowl into the dying man’s confession. Soon they are onto the story of their lifetimes, reviving a dangerous once-cold trail of back channel/back alley CIA and KGB intrigue and tradeoffs, all of which factor into the 3-way racially tinged American election of that year: Nixon vs. Humphry vs. the segregationist George Wallace. Murder, espionage, romance, betrayal and conspiracy intertwine. Readers will meet and recognize dozens of memorable “real life” characters: reporters, gangsters, diplomats, call girls, spy masters, politicians and assassins. The story is tough, large, sprawling and historically precise. "Russians sabotage and destabilize the west," says one experienced reporter with KGB knowledge. "It’s not just what they do. It’s what they do best."
The story straddles the decades from World War Two to 2018, even throwing a cynical light on Russian-American relations of today.
The Sandler Inquiry
It started as a simple case of arson. But the charred timber and wet ashes that has once been Thomas Daniels’ midtown Manhattan office concealed the key to a conspiracy that would soon destroy financial empires and take countless lives. For the young attorney, it ws the first step into a dark labyrinth of death and terror where his survival depended on discovering the secret to a plot so brilliant no government had yet been capable of stopping it.
The master plan was so ingeniously simple that is would not die. The architect: Albert Sandler, American millionaire, master forger and devious spy. Hilter had used his plan hoping to destroy England. Russia had salvaged it to use in their own war against the West. Even now it was too good to abandon–any amount of bloodshed was worth saving it. For Thomas Daniels there were too many questions and too little time to find answers. Even now it might be too late to save the free world from ruin because the countdown to international disaster had already begun!
