Zoltan considered his options. Professor Arthur Erskine and the girl were either hiding out somewhere in Phoenix, possibly driving to another destination or maybe flying in another plane to their final destination. Of the three, he felt he had the best chance with another plane, providing they hadn’t boarded a regular commercial jet. He had […]
“Damn!” Arthur read the article dismayed. He had been so careful not to reveal what he had been working on to the media. Despite this, Amanda had just brought him a copy of a prestigious business journal. He had read it with growing horror. Somehow a journalist had gotten wind of his development of the […]
The team broke for lunch on the stoep of the gracious old mansion which had been built in the early 1700s – not that old by European standards but, considering the history of white settlers in the Cape had only started in the 1500s, this homestead was one of the earliest of the distinctive Cape […]
After they had completely recovered from the ordeal of their plastic surgery, Andrew thought back on events since they had arrived in Cape Town. Jauncey as usual had been super careful about preserving their new identities. On the young couple’s initial visit to Dr. Eisenstadt’s clinic in the middle of Cape Town, they had emerged […]

On the balance of […]
Arthur stared gloomily at the magnificent scenery surrounding his Alaskan home. Looking out from his bedroom on the first floor, the towering snow-capped mountains on the horizon were bathed in the soft pinks of the early morning sun. Normally, it would have lifted his spirits but after a sleepless night worrying about his new program […]
There wasn’t much the youth could tell them. A man had given him a hundred dollars, handed him a hotel pageboy uniform and the parcel. He was instructed to place the gift on the table where Brett Gibson and his lady were sitting and say it was from the hotel manager. He had insisted that […]
Johansen smiled. They were smart but not that smart. His team had come back with the story about chasing the phones to obscure parts of Long Island. The SIM cards were missing from both phones. It was a dead end. However, Johansen was pretty sure that Brett had not realized that his name had been […]
Johansen was growing increasingly frustrated. Once they had established that the O’Reilly girl was looking into the affairs of his bosses, he had gotten his operatives to probe into her private life. They established she was living with a man called Brett Gibson in a Greenwich Village apartment. Johansen’s team had carefully broken into the […]
