About This Book
Former Secret Service agent Brett Woods takes an impressive turn to
fiction with this taut novel of real world "black ops" and the
shadowy world of U.S. government counterespionage work. Sal Franco, a
senior inspector in the FBI's Special Intelligence Section, is
assigned to investigate the assassination of a handful of obscure,
elderly Department of Defense scientists. Unbeknownst to Franco, the
assassin, Damon Cory, is a full colonel in the United States Army
working under the direction of a man named Eisler, an aging
intellectual of ambassador rank who, at the behest of the president,
administers a classified operation known as Queenwalk.
As the deadly cat-and-mouse game unfolds, the reader follows Cory
through the intellectual, emotional and procedural side of
assassination, and Franco through the psychological evaluations,
autopsy examinations and forensic findings of a major federal murder
case. When their paths finally converge, the enigma of Eisler is
unraveled and, with it, the secret of Autley House is laid bare.
Autley House is a classic espionage page-turner.
