Secrets: Public Celebrity to CIA Secret Spy

by Carl Douglass

Overview

In Secrets, Dr. Sybil Norcroft feels as if she has gotten in over her head in a welter of secrets and conflicts. She undergoes a lie detector test, gets a major national award, and gets inveigled into a secret association with the CIA, all in a dizzyingly brief period of time. She used to think her career as a practicing neurosurgeon was serious; but, after she is vetted for her CIA position, she gains a new appreciation for “serious”. The director asks her, “After you are actively engaged in Company work, failing the lie detector test may mean a Company trial and swift and sure justice—the least noxious being dismissal. Any questions about the seriousness of that kind of justice?” Sybil felt chilly after completing that line of questioning. Her first assignment is to hack into the Russian president's computer system. The second assignment is to kill a man. What on earth has this nice lady from California gotten herself into?

About the Author

Carl Douglass, Neurosurgeon turned Author, writes with gripping realism stemming from his experience as a general surgeon during the unpleasantness in Viet Nam, as a practicing neurosurgeon, and a world traveler and humanitarian. He was reared in a small mountain town in the west, made it into a major university almost as a fluke, and entered into competition with some of the best talents and brains in the country. He knows the physical and emotional impact on the peoples of the countries ruled by despots and has made for himself a research career trying to understand that part of the world. The Sybil series is a product of his imagination, but it has a generous dollop of practical reality woven into it. Douglass lives with his wife of fifty years in the quiet enjoyment of their mountain home.
