This third volume of Mike and Myras continuing adventures begins with a client searching for a missing daughter but leads our daring detectives into situations in which more than one crazed individual play out their insidious plans and put everyone involved in mortal danger. Readers already familiar with our duo will recognize old friends from previous encounters and feel right at home navigating familiar Berkshire venues. As always, suspense, vengeance and plot twists and turns keep the reader on the edge of his seat!
Mike and Myra come to the Berkshires to identify the body of friend and employee, Bernie Peters, and drawn into a battle against the same web of conspiracy that killed him, uncover, bit by bit, an insidious plot that threatens more than just the small city of Pittsfield. Along the way, their past history with each other helps shape a romantic plot line full of twists and turns. The duo encounters villainy in a variety of adversaries, and the most innocuous and familiar locales become eerily menacing in a life and death game of political and scientific intrigue.
Mike and Myra become involved with a serial kidnapping case through the request of the parents of one of the victims, a sympathetic and intelligent child whose own attempts at escape will keep readers alert and engaged. The other abducted children and their families have their own stories to tell. In the background, Mike and Myra's down-to-earth sense of humor, romantic interplay and genuine concern for their client create a more personal note in the narrative. Readers already familiar with the sights and flavor of the Berkshires of Massachusetts and southwest Florida's gulf coast will recognize the landmarks Mike and Myra encounter along their quest which provide the settings for their current high tension pursuit.
Mike and Myra receive a worrisome letter from an old friend, suggesting he may be depressed and considering suicidebut not at home. He plans to go back to the Berkshires, where he had nostalgic memories of happy days with the love of his life. The duo make the now familiar trip west on the Mass Pike and connect again with the Pittsfield police detectives who have, over the years, become allies and good friends. Unaware that the plot instigating a rash of similar suicides has roots in Mikes past history in Pittsfield, he finds himself more deeply involved and endangered than his planned intervention might warrant.
In Cryptic Control, the fourth of their sagas, Mike and Myra head back to familiar Pittsfield, Massachusetts locales to solve a murder that hits close to home. As in the past, they team up with Detective Grasso to follow multiple trails of evidence that are more enigmatic than ever. For those accustomed to the action, perilous plot twists, hostile adversaries, tender moments and collegial solidarity that our protagonists encounter as they work their cases, there will be no disappointment. If you’re new to Mike and Myra’s exploits, hold on tight--it’s an exciting ride!
