Chinese operatives, radical environmentalists, even the handsome, secretive Senator’s aide—may be willing to kill for a mysterious briefcase in In the Crosshairs: The Body on Leffis Key.
When I started writing In the Crosshairs:
the Body on Leffis Key I had just come across an obscure news item
about Chinese buying up US farmland. It intrigued—and concerned—me. I decided
to insert it as a plot element in a novel—and what to my wonderment should
happen but it’s now a full-blown global issue! The current administration and
many states are seriously looking at the burgeoning ownership by Chinese
nationals of American farmland. What’s their goal? To spy on military
facilities? Or—more ominous—to control our food supply? Almost 280,000 acres of
farmland in 29 states is now under Chinese ownership. In
the Crosshairs is a work of fiction, but if you’re interested in issues of
foreign ownership, farming, and food supply, you will enjoy this book.
Blurb:
A US senator commits suicide in
Washington DC and his aide disappears. Weeks later the body of a lobbyist washes
up in Florida at the feet of Palmer Lind, who expected to see birds, not
corpses. Are the two deaths related? Palmer—recently widowed—soon finds herself
entwined with a cast of characters all searching for a mysterious briefcase.
Global investors, Chinese operatives, radical environmentalists, even the
handsome, secretive aide—may be willing to kill for it. Who is the murderer, or
is there more than one?
