Shadow of the Gypsy
by Shelly Frome
Genre: Mystery, Thriller
Josh
Bartlett had figured all the angles, changed his name, holed up as a
small-town features writer in the seclusion of the Blue Ridge. Only a
few weeks more and he'd begin anew, return to the Litchfield Hills of
Connecticut and Molly (if she'd have him) and, at long last, live a
normal life.
After
all, it was a matter of record that Zharko had been deported well
over a year ago. The shadowy form John had glimpsed yesterday at the
lake was only that --- a hazy shadow under the eaves of the
activities building. It stood to reason his old nemesis was still
ensconced overseas in Bucharest or thereabouts well out of the
way.
And
no matter where he was, he wouldn't travel south over eight hundred
miles to track Josh down. Surely that couldn't be, not now, not after
all this.
