A Blurb for 'A SUITCASE MYSTERY':

In a few words—a deadly secret is found in a suitcase full of stolen gold. Years later, it leads to a series of unexplainable murders while the FBI hunts for a top foreign killer spy.

The story starts in Latvia, near Riga, during the final days of the Second World War. A young boy Ben Kalninsh searches an abandoned coal mine tunnel for stolen guns the soldiers hid inside. Unfortunately for him, he meets an AWOL Soviet Army officer on the run instead. The officer is involved in a theft of a large amount of gold from one of his superiors and had it hidden inside the same tunnel. Unknown to him, one of the valises holds also a diary with top Soviet secrets related to espionage in the US. And so, by entering the tunnel, Ben sets into motion deadly events which will follow him into his adult life.

Years later, in Minnesota, his father is gunned down. And no one knows why. FBI agents approach Ben with the news of the murder of his father. Special Agent Miriam Dokes and Agent Book are assigned to the case which includes the torture and murder of his father’s doctor friend, Karlis Goulbis.

The FBI manager, Bob Sawyer, has a hunch there's something much more valuable than the stolen gold. Due to so many secret projects and so many years gone by, the affair becomes the proverbial search for a "needle in a haystack". In order to find the answers, Ben, the principal character, needs to go back to Switzerland, to a bank where the gold is hidden. And, from there on, Death stalks Ben and all other participants in the gold heist. Nemesis provides the denouement of the story.

Blurb for 'FEAR!'

Official Apex Reviews Rating: FIVE STARS

A no-nonsense assassin at the top of his game, The Raven is a highly
effective "problem solver" whose methods and results are beyond question. So,
with the end of World War II long since passed and an infamous war criminal
still on the loose, Interpol agents desperate to bring the sadistic killer to
justice have no other option but to call on the only one even more vicious than
he is...little does The Raven know, though, his handlers have much more sinister
plans in mind for his services...

Taut, engaging, and supremely well written, The Raven Affair is a superb instant
classic. With more than its fair share of break-neck action and mind-numbing
suspense, author Steven Nedelton's compelling political thriller is a fast paced
page turner, the literary equivalent of such silver screen jewels as the Bourne
series. Further bolstering the high-stakes mystery tale is a highly believable
central storyline of murder and mayhem in the name of global domination – quite
the tantalizing fodder for fans of complex narratives involving intricate
conspiracy theories brought to vivid life on the page.

With nonstop action and intriguing, well defined characters, The Raven
Affair is a bona fide literary thrill ride guaranteed not to disappoint. Highly recommended.

Five Stars

reviewed by Peter M. Fitzpatrick

"The Second World War is not over. Destabilize and confuse, that's their game. It's the super wealthy, I'm sure. Now they're using America as their battering ram."

A core group of old Nazis have reorganized themselves into a powerful group of industrialists, financiers, and politicians. Our government protects them because they helped us win the Cold War. Now they begin to foment riots and assassinate political opposition in the United States and Europe, in a final bid to seize power. Interpol, Holocaust survivors, and even the Russian SVR (the modern version of the KGB) know who some of them are. This riff on a what-if world of

international intrigue and conspiracy allows the author to air some long held suspicions of U.S. government--and even Church--collusion in protecting Nazi criminals. In a tightly woven plot of spies, counterspies, deep cover agents, and sleeper assassins, issues of identity and truth become very convoluted indeed.

The author pulls no punches in describing the horrors and butchery committed by these devotees of Hitler. That they drew in and compromised so many in positions of power time makes this book a welcome antidote to historical forgetfulness, even if it is a work of fiction. The characters are drawn with a careful eye to how easily corruptible we are as a species. Any heroic figures are really just assassins for hire. It is a world driven mostly by greed and power, if not by insane notions of racial purity. There are some good people, but the idols of Church and State (our own) are seriously deconstructed. It is one of Vladimir Putin's spies who comes off as the most idealistic. Hard-bitten realism prevails, which combines well with the suspense and action. It also helps justify this addition to the already huge body of fiction on Nazis. In the end, more realism helps us understand.

 

Frighteningly Good, August 6, 2010

The Raven Affair is a fast-moving book that pulls you in from page one. The sense of urgency that Nedelton creates from the get-go grows exponentially as the tale progresses. Raven is a hired hand, on the trail of a war criminal, but he soon finds his assignment isn't what it seems. This book is dynamic and frighteningly believable, full of complex plot twists and sinister intellectual questions that, remarkably, kept this reader hooked.

The Raven Affair is destined to be adapted for the big screen. I found myself envisioning the scenes as I went along--quickly--unable to put the damn thing down.
