SOLUTION SQUARED

Courtney Bergstrom: Her inimitable aptitude for analysis, lets her see things – things the rest of us don’t, or perhaps can’t. Her mind operates as smoothly, and as quickly, as a computer – one or zero, on or off. At twenty-five years of age, she will mastermind and execute one of the most intricate defections in the history of espionage.

Whitney Bergstrom: Quick, agile, deviously cunning, and with a demeanor most often described as dispassionate, she appears and disappears like a shadow, on a cloudy day. At twenty-five years of age, she will kill a man, with nothing more than her bare hands, and never give it a second thought.

Together they are the CIA’s latest solution – squared. Catch is, the bad guys have no idea there are two of them.

Meet Christine Nelson, the always bubbly and absurdly efficient Staff Attaché, attached to the US Embassy, London – aka Courtney OR Whitney Bergstrom. Catch is, unless they want you to, you’ll never know which one of them she is.

Just one of the many benefits of being identical.

What at first appears to the sisters, to be an intriguing one of a kind opportunity, quickly becomes a daily life and death struggle as they weave their way through the onslaught of deceit, danger, and daily insanity that is life as a CIA field agent. In the end, they will discover one of the harshest realities of life as spy – the good guys don’t always win.

Their first field supervisor’s cynical statement that ‘…in this business, at some point, everyone dies,’ will in the end, prove to be a chilling reality.

SOLUTION SQUARED is an espionage thriller will take the reader on a fast-paced, methodical journey, through multiple cities on three continents, that ends with an unpredictable twist.

SOLUTION SQUARED: RECALCULATION

NOW AVAILABLE

Nothing is ever what it seems, in the world of espionage…

For a brief time, they were the CIA’s secret weapon – wreaking unexplained havoc on the intelligence agencies of the world.

Then, in what was their most intricate operation, Whitney was killed.  Courtney had watched as the white van her twin sister had been in, erupted into a fireball, large enough to do structural damage to the buildings around it.

Many are the hazards in the life of a spy, dying the most permanent.

Since then, driven by an acute sense of destiny, Courtney has become a wife, a mother, and… the CIA’s Director of Intelligence.

Today, Courtney’s life will undergo its second radical change. A secret delivered to her via her daughter, eight years ago at a daycare center is about to become public. Down the hall, in a different office, Alice Williamson – Director, Central Intelligence – is about to use that very same secret to pull Courtney away from the safety of her desk, and back into the fray… back into the world of ‘operations’.

And she will do it in fifteen seconds, and with only four words…

“They have your sister.”

RECALCULATION, the sequel to SOLUTION SQUARED, is the next progression in the escapades of identical twin sisters Whitney and Courtney Bergstrom – a pair of would be ‘girls next door’ whose  devious, deceptive, and slightly sinister behavior, lends credence to the concept that beautiful women with guns, should never be taken lightly.

SOLUTION SQUARED: THE FINAL EQUATION

NOW AVAILABLE

Twin sisters Courtney and Whitney spent their entire adult lives traveling an inherently dangerous path – sometimes together, sometimes apart. It’s a path that inexorably leads to a destiny that only they – together – can fulfill.

Over the years, they’ve made friends, and enemies –sometimes both in the same person. Even those they work against, respect their abilities.

They now find themselves forced to work with what the world believes is their biggest adversary – the SVR, and its Director. What the world – and those in power in both countries – aren’t aware of, is that over the years, Courtney Whitman and Andrei Gryzlov have become as close as friends, as they are diligent adversaries. This small detail will prove extremely beneficial for the Russian government, once they are told of the insane plans of one of their own.

A program – one that directly involved two of the twin’s closest associates – was never terminated as was reported. In fact, not only was it seen through to completion, but the subjects are now being gathered to complete a mission – but it’s not the mission they were created for.

Older, and perhaps a split second slower than they were in their youth, the sisters find themselves caught up in the bizarre plan that Akilina Nikolsky believes will propel her into the Presidential Palace in Moscow, drawn into the melee by an old friend and adversary – Leonid Tarasov.

Having discovered the truth about his – and many other’s – origins, he covertly recruits the sisters who, once they understand what is at stake, readily join him on his quest to thwart the diabolical plans of Akilina Nikolsky, and the deranged scientist that is helping her.

In the end… the price of success will be far higher than any of them could have ever imagined.

The Final Equation is the last chapter in the lives of Courtney and Whitney Bergstrom, and all those who have joined them over the years, on the extraordinary path that leads to their ultimate destiny.
