Book Cover & Preview Text
“We called this gathering rather suddenly to take advantage of the presence of Joe, our Station Chief in Vienna, who is here to attend a conference. We are very concerned about the leaks of the U.S. classified data we discovered in the Mideast. We are convinced the information came out of Washington, probably the Defense Department. “The Defense Intelligence Agency is conducting an intensive internal review to determine the origin of this material. They are also assisting other Defense agencies. The NCIS is involved because of a suspicious relationship between a Navy civilian logistician and a former Austrian diplomat who had been stationed in the Mideast. “Frank is engaged in an internal review of certain CIA headquarters elements. Bob MacMerial and Kevin Keefer represent Army Counterintelligence. Kevin is investigating whether any Army personnel, military or civilian, may be involved. The Army’s Munich office is also checking into it. Barbara Sheralds, of the FBI, has already initiated action. Air Force intelligence is participating as well. "

About the Book
An Army counterintelligence agent, Kevin Keefer, receives a mysterious letter alleging espionage in the Pentagon. He and his superiors believe the organization involved is the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS). There is speculation that the letter’s writer is somehow connected with his father’s military service in World War II. An investigation is ordered by the JCS. The FBI, CIA, and the Naval Criminal Investigative Service become engaged in the plot. Keefer suspects there is a connection between the Pentagon case and a concurrent FBI investigation in Europe. He uncovers damaging information involving his own organization. After several trips to Europe, he discovers the author of the letter, leading to the solution of both his and the FBI’s cases.
