Someone Else

By Phil Bookman

There is No Such Thing as an Ex-Spy

In 1983, Luca D'Amato's wife and twin daughters perished after the Korean Air passenger jet they were travelling on was blown out of the sky without warning by a Soviet warplane. Devastated and obsessed with thoughts of revenge, Luca dedicated his life to destroying the Evil Empire.

Over 40 years later, the former New York City college professor turned CIA spymaster lives alone in a serene retirement community in the eastern foothills of San Jose, California. Now known as mild-mannered Jack Harkness, he plays golf and pickleball and keeps tabs on a few old friends. But he finds that he cannot escape the ghosts from his past.

Because between Luca and Jack, he had been someone else.
