“Twins”…?

OR is there a more unusual connection between these two women who keep finding themselves in the middle of mayhem ― both in the U.S. and abroad?

Sophisticated Gee, born of privilege, a socialite philanthropist in Boston, and Karen, a sporty down-to-earth private detective. . .yet inhabiting the same body. And in love with the same man (the family’s hunky private pilot).

This tongue-in-cheek romp follows these “two” on their multi-continent adventures as they track down killers, confront para-military groups, and end up in the crosshairs of an international drug cartel ― changing locations and jetting hither and yon as quickly as they change a shade of lipstick. Yet they also manage to tackle a range of today’s most pressing issues including government corruption, gun control, money laundering, hurricane relief, and more.

WELCOME to this fast-paced, imaginative, and idealized reality where the world’s ills are often tidied up in lightning quick fashion, providing some utopian escapism for anyone who enjoys a mystery, inside a puzzle, inside a riddle as there’s also a classic whodunit enfolded herein―with yet another startling twist at this tale’s unorthodox conclusion . . .

One former lover from high school is now the front man for a major illegal drug distributor.

Crossword by Alan Bricklin

By early 1944 Hitler’s general staff realized that they had lost the war. Hitler did not. In late 1943 Allied bombers destroyed the Norwegian power station that supplied power for the factory making fissionable material for Hitler’s drive to produce an atomic weapon. The remaining material was ordered to be brought to Germany under heavy guard, but a lone German general set into motion a series of events that threatened to alter the outcome of World War II.

A troubled OSS agent is sent behind enemy lines to prevent the development of the atomic weapon that could win the war for Germany; but Hitler and the Allies are not the only ones interested. There are secret forces at work in both the United States and Germany that want the fissionable material for their own reasons.

Alone and injured in Germany, the OSS agent must enlist the aid of a beautiful, young German woman to help him while he plays cat and mouse with his enemies, both known and unknown. An undertaking gone terribly wrong. Has it turned into a suicide mission?

I mean, every girl’s father leaves a dial-a-hero number tucked behind the Monet, right? She must have gotten the number wrong, because the hero is Nicholas Lee, Cyrus Lee’s son.
