    About this ebook

    A Simple Recipe for Intrigue:

    Take Denham McMurrough, a young electronics genius living in small town America during the mid-1950's.

    Add one Wilfred Sinclair, captain of the swim team, brilliant mathematician, and Den's best friend and occasional bedmate.

    Combine Frieda Glanz, a former German national who fled the Nazi regime in 1938, and blend with Denham until stiff peaks form.

    Mix well with a home-built pair of computers, a never-before-seen cipher system, and a sprinkling of surveillance by the FBI. Allow mixture to rise into a novella of unconventional romance, set in an unconventional town.

    Savor in small slices; or devour whole at one sitting.
