"Brilliant! A plot with more twists than barbed wire. Vivid characters. Life-and-death stakes. A provocative political theme. Erika Holzer delivers everything that a thriller fan could possibly want in this revised edition of her novel Double Crossing."-----Robert Bidinotto, best-selling author of "Hunter." [Double Crossing reviews are at "Editorial Reviews."] * * * Caught in a web of dangerous intrigue, Dr. Kiril Andreyev plans his desperate escape from Soviet tyranny to freedom in the West. But when his friend's escape attempt ends in flames, Kiril finds his life threatened by a ruthless KGB officer. Kiril's last chance rests on a visiting American heart surgeon and his journalist wife. But even as Kiril plots his escape, he finds that his life depends on his materialistic mistress, on the rivalries of Soviet and East German intelligence agents, and on accidental betrayals by those he trusts most. The story builds to a climax in a deadly confrontation on Glienicker Bridge, linking East Germany and West Berlin. Will Dr. Kiril Andreyev succeed in his lifelong quest for freedom--and at what cost?

Since 1984, Huntsville's WLRH public radio station has given local writers three minutes every Monday morning to read whatever they chose, to show their lives in the beautiful Tennessee Valley.These are their stories from the remarkable year of 2021: The boy who felt the world change when Yuri Gagarin left the Earth. The wild boys from the hills who thought parrots were painted pigeons. The Madison teenager who is Indian in appearance but All-American as she travels the world. The flamboyant woman who insisted that her friend's coffin be large enough for her headpiece and ball gown, only to find it would not fit in the grave. A bittersweet tribute to our Zoom romances this year. And the sense of loss that can be preserved in a simple turn into a big box store. And much, much more as fifty-plus very vivid stories by Tennessee Valley writers try to make sense of it all.
