A Novel by R W Masters (e-book)
(return to index)

     His wife and daughter murdered, Detective Matt Morgan decided that twenty-five years as one of ‘New York’s Finest’ was enough. Accepting a position in a six-man police department in Ediwah, North Dakota, he fully expected a good measure of peace and quiet. Well, not quite. He married the ‘town beauty’, took on the training of a young wanna-be detective, and, with his new wife, adopted an orphaned fifteen-year-old girl.
     The frozen north does have its blessings but they don’t come free of charge!
     An adventure in crime, politics and romance
by R W Masters.

   Is it a sin to assassinate terrorists? To kill men who have killed dozens, sometimes hundreds, of innocent people? Isn't murder, murder?
   This was the quandary Kurt Mann, a successful attorney, wrestled with when he learned that the beautiful French singer and violist he so wished to marry was also a professional assassin working for the Israeli Mossad.
   Bernadine Bouchez was under suspicion by the authorities in Frankfurt Germany, Paris France and Brooklyn New York. So far, no one had been able to produce any hard evidence tying Bernadine to the Mossad or the killings but suspicions die hard. If Kurt helped Bernadine and it was discovered that he also had known of her killings, he, too, could go to prison for a long time.
