Red Eagle

by Maurice Chevalier, Benjamin Mintz (Editor)

The story is a fast read political thriller involving a Presidential election with a strong espionage element. A Secret Service agent and Vietnam veteran, is assigned to the protection detail of a former Vietnam anti-war activist who is running for the office of President of the United States. Earlier in Moscow during the collapse of the Soviet Union, a Russian clerk steals a file from the old KGB Headquarters. That file is the secret file on the Presidential candidate that shows him to be a 'mole' of the Russians. The clerk is discovered and flees to the United States with the file. The file if brought to light will show the candidate as a traitor and worse. The conflict between the candidate and the Russians who are attempting to keep the file from being disclosed and a small group of government officials who are attempting to get the information it contains released, creates a scenario of murder and mayhem from Moscow to Washington D.C.; from the beaches of North Carolina to the regions of Kansas City; and from Charleston, South Carolina to the venues of New Orleans. Combine this situation with the ongoing intrigue of a political campaign and tensions surge as the possibility of a Russian 'mole' achieving the highest political office in the world becomes a reality.
