NEW ORLEANS, May 4, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- An attempt to compromise a Russian intelligence officer transforms into a crisis where a CIA officer must partner with Russians and an enigmatic gentleman to save an innocent girl in Maury Berthon's new thriller "A Strange Business: A Tale of Intrigue" (published by Archway Publishing).
Benjamin Godfrey is a CIA officer assigned to monitor Russian intelligence in Greece, a country that has always stirred souls. Eleven years after the former attorney was recruited into the CIA, now he must focus on talking someone into becoming a traitor to their country.
To meet his goal, he decides to orchestrate a meeting to befriend the beautiful young bride of an SVR officer recently transferred to the Russian Embassy in Athens. But what begins as a normal operation to compromise a Russian intelligence officer is about to take a turn no one anticipated. As a result, Godfrey finds he must join forces with his adversaries and a mysterious man in Russia to save an innocent life.
"For twenty-five years I worked at a job that was an adventure every day. When I retired I found myself missing the work. I decided to write about it to recapture the adventure," Berthon says, adding that with his book, he hopes to bring readers into the world of espionage being conducted every day around the world.
