Third Time Lucky: a Paul Mallory thriller

By Stephen C. Spencer

When news analyst and special assignment reporter Paul Mallory finally gets offered an overseas gig he actually wants, he's suspicious...but not suspicious enough to turn it down.

But Latvia's on the brink of civil war, pending the outcome of a January referendum that may see them reunited with a revivified Soviet Union; and when Paul gets caught up in some activity far from the 64 squares of the chessboard, he once again must choose between following orders and following his instincts...
