Base Alta
A Middle Eastern woman is murdered in her driveway in a New York City suburb. The crime is labeled a case of mistaken identity, because there seems to be no motive for the crime.
But the murder victim is one of four women who are spies for the Central Intelligence agency. Each one has a connection to a CIA case officer named Sonia Rosengren who is based at a secret outpost in North Norway called Base Alta.
Base Alta is a story with a heart, a story of love and loss amidst adventure, danger and betrayal where people may not be who they seem, and trusting anyone is always fraught with unknown consequences.
