In Kent and Katcha, American spy Kent Brukner and his lover escape from Russia. Now five years have passed. Kent is a Honolulu lawyer, and Katcha, his Russian immigrant wife, is an American citizen, a college student, and mother to their son, Paulie. Kent prepares a partnership agreement for a startup company building a new secret missile-tracking recorder—for the U.S. military on the Hawaiian island of Kauai. The chief financial officer’s son is kidnapped. The ransom is not for money, but for the plans and specifications of the new recorder. Is there a mole in the company? A domestic terrorist? Working with the FBI, will Kent be able to expose the spy and rescue the kidnapped son? Meanwhile, Katcha’s immigrant friends face an ugly legal mess caused by the New York City murder of their business partner. Can Kent help them while he’s still spy chasing? Rosemary and Larry Mild coauthored the Dan & Rivka Sherman Mysteries; the Paco & Molly Mysteries; Hawaii thrillers Cry Ohana and Honolulu Heat; the historical novel Boxcar Bertie; and four books of short stories. They make their home in Honolulu, where they cherish time with their daughter and grandchildren. In 2025, The Hawaii Literary Arts Council awarded Larry and Rosemary the 2024 Elliot Cades Award for Literature for established writers, Hawaii’s most prestigious literary honor.
