A Retirement Village To Spy For Joseph E Vitolo

Spies, cyber-attacks, murder. This isn't what Dean and Jane Steele expected when they moved into the Richfield Pines Retirement Village. Dean, a retired FBI Agent, was looking forward to a quiet stress-free lifestyle. Instead, he is drawn into a conspiracy involving a suspected Russian spy, and the death of a retired Department of Defense programmer. The programmer, James Howard, died from a fall down the steps in his home. The Medical Examiner's office determined that it was an accident. Before he retired, James Howard worked on a missile defense computer program. Later, someone hacked into that same program. Howard had been close friends with the suspected spy. He also had a million-dollar life insurance policy and changed the beneficiary on the policy before he died. Could one resident of the retirement village be a Russian spy? Was James Howard murdered? If so, is the murderer someone who lives in the retirement village? Dean seeks answers to these questions. When he does, he learns that many in the community are not what they seem. The closer he gets to the truth, the more dangerous it becomes and someone wants him dead. The attempts on Dean's life only make him more determined to find the deadly secrets hidden in this once peaceful retirement community. Dean must uncover the truth before he and Jane become victims.
