The Kingfisher Secret by

4.0

"Ripped from the headlines..." What a cliche -- a lightly-disguised story of a rich New Yorker who has a shaky business, a huge debt and an ego to match...and he's about to be elected president of the US.

His Czech wife...who happens to be a Soviet Swallow. Kingfisher. A woman planted to subvert and seduce a man, an asset, to the Communist cause, and now the cause of the president of Russia....

What if...what if Ivana Trump was a Swallow, and The Donald was carefully wooed and groomed to be elected to high office as the puppet of the Russian powers? What if??

Told as a political thriller, as a chase across the world. One journalist has decided to tell the story, and she is chased, threatened, stalked. Attacked. All on the eve of the 2016 election.

Holy...chit! What if??

Deathless prose? Nah. But a rip-roaring good yarn, with too many parallels to this life we are all living to be comfortable. Written by an anonymous journalist with facts, a great imagination, and strong writing.

Chilling and too close.
