What Happened to Gjergy Boltucris?

by Charles A. Salter

Gjergy Boltucris, a scientist with many guilty secrets, works on classified weapons projects. One night unseen forces that he recognizes mysteriously cast him over the 19th floor lanai of his luxurious Miami Beach condo, and his body vanishes before hitting the ground below. His partner Paul Tuttle, with a dark past of his own, desperately needs the man back and hires Carl Stone to find him. Stone, a former Army CID man, is both an insightful, licensed psychologist and hard-boiled, licensed PI. Soon Stone finds himself swept up into a complex plot involving sinister foreign agents and terrorists. He struggles for his life…and that of Gjergy’s sister, whom he comes to love. Dobesta Boltucris unwittingly holds the keys to all these mysteries, but with her secretive nature and surrealistic quirks, only a psychologist-detective can hope to unravel them all. As the odds continue to mount against Stone, he will risk everything to save her and America from terrorists with an incredible new secret weapon.
