More about "A Neapolitan Intrigue"

The historical backdrop of my new novel A Neapolitan Intrigue, takes place in Berkeley, CA, in 1969.



I have searched through the archives and found more photos from the events of May, 1969.  One photo in particular played an important part in plot development.  Any guesses?

A Neapolitan Intrigue

Coming Soon:    A Neapolitan Intrigue 




Ancient Roman streets, superb coffee, excellent clothes, and lush sea breezes; Naples, Italy has it all. Letty may just have found the perfect place to retire after a hectic life with the CIA and Interpol.
She’s enjoying her new life when, out of nowhere, a photo of her as a teenager in 1969 winds up on a dead body. How could the People’s Park protests of fifty years ago, in Berkeley, California have anything to do with her life now? And why are so many Russians after her? 
It’s clear that the answers to her questions lie in the picture taken decades in the past. Her high school years of protests, sit-ins, and civil disobedience are so far from her life as a CIA agent, that she doesn’t know where to begin.  
Luckily, former agents and friends, Taylor and Jim, step in to assess the situation and protect her from an ever-increasing number of bad guys that are bent on doing her harm. 
Hoping to get back to a restful retirement, Letty must revisit that long-ago life to figure out what in the world is happening now, half a world away.
