The Mysterious Death of a UNR Fulbrighter
Jesus’s lifetime and an ever-memorable trip to Nevada, United States of America, seemed to have been a poisoned chalice. Gabrielle’s phone call from the United States Embassy brought unexpected thunderstorm news which added some more reflexive questions in his mind.
Why did Amber keep quiet for all this period? Why was she or her family taking me to court? Why did they not try to listen to me before taking me to court? Did she also say I raped her? Is it her family’s version? Why would she make a call to the rapist if that is what they allege?
As the judge was speaking … I was even more terrified and totally lost ground when I heard the particulars that sexual assault is prosecuted as Category A Felony, which meant I could be potentially deprived of my freedom and be dragged to serve an abysmal life-sentence-imprisonment if I were convicted.

A group led by American Alan Mackenzie daringly escaped from communist Hungary during the brutal Soviet repression of the popular uprising of 1956.
Twelve years later, at the height of the Cold War, Alan and two of the Hungarian participants, Frank and Maria, are reunited to help organize the defection of a high-ranking East German official who can identify communist moles in the American government. The resources of the American intelligence agencies could not be used to find moles within their own ranks; therefore, the President and the Secretary of State decided to find help elsewhere.

The operation is flawlessly planned, and yet something goes wrong. The disappearance is discovered within a few hours.
