Beschreibung

When a four-man team of Iranian terrorists surreptitiously enters the US, the desecrated body of a US Border Patrol Agent near the US/Mexico Border is a harbinger of future events. The team's goal to attack soft targets in the nation's capital and kill as many Americans as possible, to include the President, is thwarted by John Darque and the covert organization he heads. While investigating the incidents, Darque realized he was fighting two battles, one global and one personal, that were somehow conjoined. The inquiry into the team's exploits in the US indicated they were a ruse to cover a more sinister plot taking place in Iran to destabilize the world, and the effort was being supported by the governments of China and Russia. Darque, known to his friends as 'Chadeaux', leads a contingent of personnel in pursuing the threat into Europe and the Middle East to end the danger. From an obscure event in the jungles of Southeast Asia, to encounters with governments intent on acquiring world dominance. 'Chadeaux' remained the thread that kept the globe stable - until his untimely 'demise'.
 
Steve spent the majority of his 22-year military career in Europe as a Counterintelligence Agent investigating National Security Crimes, especially Espionage. The knowledge he acquired, and achievements he accomplished during his career, make him well qualified to write "The Darque Side", his third novel.

    🦃 Turkey farmer and heritage breed expert Tom Gobbler is preparing for the town's annual "Turkey Amnesty" charity event when the event's wealthy organizer—a notorious philanthropist with questionable motives—is found dead in the barn, partially stuffed inside a massive heritage turkey. The police suspect a bizarre farming accident, but Tom notices the turkey has been deliberately over-stuffed and the victim's charity records contain coded entries about fund misappropriation. With his farm's reputation on the line and Thanksgiving charity distributions in jeopardy, Tom must pluck through the evidence to uncover the truth. Assisted by his farmhands and the handsome agricultural auditor analyzing financial records, Tom uncovers a scheme involving charity fraud, turkey substitution, and a plot to exploit small farmers. From suspicious giblet packages that reveal bird switching to feeding records that don't match breed standards, every feather tells a story. But when Tom discovers the victim was systematically replacing heritage turkeys with commercial birds while charging premium prices, he realizes the killer is protecting charitable giving more meaningful than any tax deduction. With the charity event approaching and hungry families counting on Thanksgiving meals, Tom must truss up the evidence before his farm gets permanently basted in scandal.
