    About this ebook

    "It was the moment of disaster, when silence gives the boundary between peace and violence."

    Alexandra Dolnikov is a twenty-year-old chemistry major at a Chicago university who might, if she works hard, graduate by 1974. She struggles to get along at home and thinks she has figured out how to manage work, school and a tiny apartment, all on her own, until her parish priest asks a favor. She cannot refuse, though she doubts that the missing icon he is looking for could actually be miraculous and is sure her intervention will fail.

    While fulfilling her promise to the priest, she meets a captivating man who draws her ever deeper into a world of secrets she did not know existed. That it is also a world of violence and treachery becomes ever more clear to her as she learns the costs of her smallest decisions.

    In her search for what may or may not be a miraculous icon, Alex becomes the bait in a plan to stop a deadly terrorist attack. Her life depends now on Charlemagne, the premier freelance specialist team used by western governments for black operations conducted without fingerprints, and they are every bit as dangerous as their targets.

    Trinity Icon is the first book in the series titled The Charlemagne Files, which chronicles the lives of the members of a team of deadly Cold War intelligence operatives over a span of three decades.

    K.A. Bachus

    K.A. Bachus is acquainted with the world of Cold War secrets. A Chicago-born granddaughter of Lithuanian immigrants who fled Hitler and Stalin, she began adult life during the last year of the Vietnam era by enlisting in the United States Air Force. Her first duty assignment brought her to a special operations unit in Florida, where she worked as an administrative clerk in an intelligence office. There she typed aircrew briefings and managed a large intelligence library maintained in support of a worldwide deployment contingency.The future author deployed with her unit for operational exercises to places such as Zweibrücken, West Germany and Fort Bragg, North Carolina, where she learned the importance of coffee. Besides performing her ordinary clerical duties on these deployments, she was designated as a weapons custodian and classified courier. She attended the Foreign Internal Defense Course at the Air Force Special Operations School in Fort Walton Beach, Florida.During these years, Ms. Bachus developed a profound respect for the warriors and special operations experts she worked with, whose service and sacrifices during three wars far overshadowed her own limited role in the support and defense of the Constitution of the United States.After being commissioned as a second lieutenant, Ms. Bachus served as an administrative officer in England and Japan, holding various positions including security officer, personnel reliability officer, chief of central base admin, executive officer and headquarters squadron commander. Later as a civilian, she wrote for a newspaper and practiced criminal defense law.K.A. Bachus lives and writes in Maine, USA, where she is active in veterans’ and writers’ groups.And, of course, she drives a black Mercedes.
