Enrichment -- A Novel

When his fellow physicist and close friend of thirty years has an unexpected heart attack, Alex Fletcher’s quiet academic life takes a turn for the different. It’s all well and good when a longstanding, friendly flirtation blossoms into a passionate romance and he suddenly comes into possession of a fifty-foot sailboat. But the apparent existence of an espionage ring at the laboratory where he and his late friend were working on a top-secret project together is not.
Enter a gorgeous FBI counterintelligence agent whose handlers have decided that Alex’s inside knowledge of the project makes him perfect as an undercover operative at the laboratory. Armed with only a clever code name and a vast knowledge of covert operations gleaned from having read innumerable spy novels, Alex is thrust into a world of deceit and danger. Whether his different life will be enriched by the experience will depend on his ability to navigate uncharted waters.
