About this ebook
Professor Whitfield, a middle-aged lecturer in Spanish Literature, is killing off her lovers. Shulamit Rossi has witnessed the first killing and prevented her history professor from being victim number two.
One of the dead lovers is in actuality an active duty Navy Admiral in charge of a CIA regionals operations directorate. Shocked and outraged by the killings, the Secretary of Defense convinces the President to bring Chuck Cross out of a comfortable retirement in England and Chuck in turn recalls his two nephews, Mark and Mike Asher, to help him stop Professor Whitfield before she kills more people.
Set in and around Boston and its suburbs, Mark Asher, promoted to colonel commands his old special ops tactical unit in tracking down the killer, a black on black assassin.

I'm on my fifth career (or is it my sixth?). I am one of the last children born in Boston's old West End before they tore it down in the early 1950s to build the Charles River Apartments complex. I grew up in Milton, just over the Neponset River from Boston and went to the Milton Public Schools. I also attended the Hebrew Teachers College in Brookline. My mother wanted me to become a rabbi. I had other plans. I graduated Syracuse University with honors and a major in Zoology. Because my draft lottery number for the Vietnam War was 61, I volunteered for the Air Force and completed AFROTC while in graduate school. In graduate school, at Syracuse, I was working on a doctorate in biophysics. Never finished. Lived in Israel with my wife Ruth in the mid-1970s, on a kibbutz near the Lebanese Border. Our daughter Keren was born at the Nahariya Military Hospital. Upon our return to the States in 1977, I changed careers and became a telecommunications engineer. I worked various corpororate jobs and finally with some friends established the first of two telecom consultancies, FMS Telecommunications. At the same time, I taught Telecommunications Technology at Northeastern University's State-of-the-Art Engineering Program. I retired from telecom in the mid-2000s. Grew bored sitting home, took the teacher certification tetst in science and I now teach biology, chemistry and physics at a high school in suburban Boston. I had always wanted to write. I originally went to Syracuse with the intention of majoring in literature and creative writing. Not liking the program I switched to science. The 64-Bit Waltz is my first novel.
