You have heard the cliché “Never judge a book by its cover!” Thank goodness I did. I saw the cover at a recent writers conference. It had a couple of icons that I recognized– Big Ben in London, WWII aircraft and a woman dressed as a WWII spy. In the cover copy, I saw the …
Thank you, Frederick Forsyth, for writing The Fox. Thank you G.P. Putnam’s Sons for publishing it. The 21st century has seen the birth of a new type warfare– cyberwarfare.

I came across this fine spy-thriller/murder mystery during the summer of 2015. Author Stan Morse is an attorney living in central Washington State. Goering’s Gold bounces back and forth from the 1930’s to 2002 and beyond. The cover photo shows heavy duty pipes with Nazi Swastikas embossed on them. This part of the story is real. …
