THE ST. AUGUSTINE AFFAIR(by David M. Gehlhausen)When al Qaeda kidnaps eight-year-old Nicole Benedict, daughter of murdered NASA scientist Dr. Levka Benedict, from The St. Augustine Orphanage in Florida and demands that her governess, Heather St. Marie, deliver the doctor’s GPS coordinates for twelve nuclear weapons obtained from North Korea and now buried in the Iranian desert, Catholic Relief philanthropist Jade Monarch is recruited for the CIA Black Operation. What Jade doesn’t realize is that Dr. Benedict’s wife, Tanya, a Russian-born Jewish concert pianist, encrypted the GPS coordinates into a musical duet—teaching the soprano to Nicole, and the alto to her ten-year-old brother, Alex. When Jade discovers that Mrs. Benedict also taught the code’s cipher to Heather as a musical accompaniment before escaping with the children from Tehran—Jade realizes that he has a whole new problem!The St. Augustine Affair is the pilot story for a romantic spy-adventure series featuring Jade Monarch, Heather St. Marie, and two orphans—Alex and Nicole Benedict. Given the current race by Iran and al Qaeda to obtain nuclear weapons for the imminent annihilation of Israel, and given Tel Aviv’s commitment to initiate a preemptive strike against Iran should Tehran obtain nuclear weapons, the story is relevant not only for the Middle East, but for the entire World!
