About this ebook
Horatio Delmer Touchstone, known as "Touch" lives just outside Paris and works in civilian clothes as a Counter Intelligence agent for the US Army in Paris in the mid 1960s. When he leaves for a two-week vacation across the Alps, and finds himself in increasing personal danger. His analytical mind locates his roommate, Nick, as the source of his problems, but the dangers are real, not fun and games. After almost being tossed off the Eiger, run off the torturous St. Goddard's Pass into Italy, and being shot at in a wine cave in Toblino, he confronts Nick in Verona. The issue is a double agent in the unit. Touch has been bait. He is told he is a nuisance and asked to leave. Instead he plays the game, and while knowingly he is out of his league, he nails the bad guy and survives. Barely.
David M. Delo
Bio of author David M. Delo I’ve never been great at anything, but I have been around and have had as many failures as I have successes. After college, I was a C.I. agent for NATO (US Army) in Europe. Back in the USA, I became an educational administrator for the American Geological Institute, in Washington, D.C.; a systems analyst and V. P. at Levi Strauss & Co. in San Francisco; owner of a guest ranch in Wyoming; a P. R. writer for a university library in Illinois and grants writer for a not-for-profit organization in Montana; owner of a publishing company (Kingfisher Creations) through which I authored 10 books; and a semi-professional photographer for half a century. I have also been an artist since 1993 and I have been bipolar II since the mid-1960s. I guess you could say I have had a colorful life. Since the turn of the century, I have resided within the world of creativity. My books (and paintings) are my children and my heritage. My action-mysteries are based on my years in Europe. My historical novels are all based on places to which I have ventured, and I still love my protagonists with whom I identify–a geologist, an artist, a photographer, and an intrepid explorer of the west.
