THE EXILED ELEMENT

THE EXILED ELEMENT is Book Four of the James Becker Suspense/Thriller Series. Researching this book was an enlightening experience. Because a good deal of the action takes place in Cairo (in addition to the usual Becker locals in Minnesota) I interviewed a number of Egyptians to get the details RIGHT. And I met some truly terrific people in the process. Other interviews included a Navy Admiral, a hi-tech metallurgical foundry worker (who makes parts for the F-15 Fighter), and an Iranian Expatriate with degrees in Bio-Chemical Engineering. Final research included lots of web context for Area 51 and the U.S. "Black Project" know as AURORA. You'll have to read it to find out more.

Plot Summary: In response to recent turmoil in Egypt's intelligence community, the CIA
has recalled Beth Becker to active duty. Though she accepts the
assignment, the backstabbing and deceit she finds festering within the
Agency remind her why she retired from government work in the first
place.

Meanwhile, her husband, "Beck," stays home in Red Wing,
helping Chief Deputy Sheriff, Doug "Gunner" Gunderson, formulate what
should be routine security plans for a visiting dignitary. But a less
than stellar private security firm, and a determined sniper, result in a
crisis situation that stretches our heroes' abilities to their limits.

Filled
with intrigue, humor, and ripped-from-the-headlines action, THE EXILED
ELEMENT will remind you why you came to love the Beckers in the first
place.

Approx. 81,000 words.
