Occupant
Occasionally, information that changes everything comes into our lives. It can be in the form of a gift or an inescapable dilemma.
Sergei Zorkaltsev was living a charmed life. His doting father was able to
make enough money and have the right connections to get Sergei into the St. Petersburg Technical University. His dream of becoming an agricultural engineer was coming true until the American bullet pierced his father’s heart. Sergei became a man looking for justice. He was given an address. Its occupant was his target. His information was manipulated.
Tom and Michelle Larson were embarking on the journey called retirement.
Their life together had been fruitful, their love neglected, their story rather bland.
Unknown to them, they rented a vacation home from a man with a much
more exciting past. His past became their future.

About the author
G.J. Swenson
3 books1 followerI spent 20 years in production at the Washington Post. At the start my employ I worked part time at Weaver's violin shop as a Luthier and made violins, violas, cellos and mandolins. I discovered my love of writing later, in college, then started getting pieces published in the paper, penning an entire section for a subsidiary daily paper.
My father-in-law shared an experience- renting a summer home owned by a bad-ass CIA agent in the hills of New Hampshire. He shared his growing paranoia and over-reactions to noises in the night. My imagination sprung to create Occupant, and then continued with Resident and culminated in Uninvited Guest- all to be published by Keith Publishing.

A pretty good spy thriller - with a twist. The action keeps going and it's a bit of a page-turner. Lacks a bit of credibility in places - I find it hard to believe that a seasoned CIA agent would have been as careless as this one was. However, that doesn't detract too much from the book overall and I suppose we are meant to perceive him as only human after all. The main theme running through this novel is the many uses of misinformation and deception - like any good spy story.
