The Girl Who Slept with a Nuke (Kat Johnson Mysteries, #2) (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

It's a tiny county park in the farthest corner of Wisconsin. Two men are dead and a deputy sheriff is badly wounded. The dead men? One is a mystery. The other is Kat's former commanding officer in Germany a man she hasn't seen in years. The FBI wants to talk to Kat. Kat Johnson has retired after twenty years with the military police and now operates a business in northern Wisconsin. Northwoods Experiences is a chance for women to gather and explore outdoor options from wildlife photography to fly fishing and bird watching.

But the FBI is more interested in Kat's former job and her time in Germany's Fulda Gap. Nuclear mines were used to bar the way of potential Soviet invaders. Now a YouTube series is tracing those mines. If Kat wants to find out why her old friend was killed, she needs to travel back to Fulda and investigate those YouTubers.

I have three sets of books here. The first is an alternative history of the US, envisioning how things might have gone had the French prevailed in the French and Indian War. That series comes from some personal experiences. I have canoed sections of the Fox, and driven along its banks. I have followed the voyageur route from the Sault to Quebec and traveled from Green Bay to New Orleans by car and by boat. My wife and I have spent many happy days on Mackinac Island and in Door County.

The Jessica Thorpe series is very different. It takes place in the tiny town of Amberg, Wisconsin, a place where I used to live. I wanted to describe that town and its troubles. Initially the novel involved a militia take over of the town, and it was called "Two Angry Men." But both men were predictable and boring. I had decided to have the story narrated by the town bartender - Jessica - and I soon realized she was the most interesting character in the book. She became the lead in the Jessica Thorpe series.

I restarted the series with a fight over a proposed water plant with Jessica balancing environmental rights and business rights. I put Jessica right in the middle of a real problem we are experiencing here in Wisconsin (and most other places). How badly does a tiny town need jobs? How much environmental damage should we accept?

The third series changes the lead character. Catherine Johnson solves mysteries. She also travels. It took her to many places I have been. The last several books take place in Russia. I admit I have no idea what is motivating the current madness there. Catherine looks, she tries to help, she struggles. What else can any of us do?
