The Adjuster

by Alexander De Chastelaine

"You think you're Robin Hood?" she asked him. "When right becomes wrong, resistance becomes a public duty," he replied. Thus began the unexpected love story between a handsome, daring rebel—unafraid to use terror to further his cause—and a young CIA operative stationed at the American Embassy in Berlin. Their journey unfolded on a cold winter day in a Berlin cemetery, spanning from Zurich and Southern California to a quiet town in South Carolina and Key West. As the lovers made plans to flee to a new life, their story became a captivating tale of defiance against the establishment and those in power. It is the story of a resistance rising against the powers that control, revealing the true nature of the struggle—which is not one of left versus right, but of those at the top versus those in the shadows below. It is also a tale of hope and love, flickering brightly in a world that grows colder and darker with each passing day. Hidden under an captivating love story, the book seeks to re-frame an age-old once posed as, "Are the poor and starving allowed to steal from the rich?" It now asks, "Are the rich allowed to hoard all the resources while others suffer in despair?"
