Crossroads is a novel about people, very unusual people indeed. Men and women with special abilities allowing them to 'see' things thousands of miles away, to read other persons thoughts, to move objects without touching them. Their gift is similar to Bethoven's ability to compose and hear the music in his head, and like Beethoven, such prodigies are extremely rare.
During the Cold War period, the Soviet KGB became interested in this phenomenon and decided to use it in the espionage. Especially because some of these unique men and women appeared to be able to read and even control other persons thoughts. Thus this potential 'mind weapon' was of great interest to the them and, in turn, to the CIA.
Crossroads is about the CIA assembled group of such prodigies. It is about the KGB Sokolov, Head of Special Operations and his right hand mind control expert, mesmerizing beauty Tatiana. The story describes a French traitor and her affair with the KGB. Our people, living in the small town of Crossroads, are affected too. A very secretive and strange group of men is suddenly in their neighborhood and they are frightened. A woman, their neighbor, is murdered. The Police Chief refuses to discuss the strange men hiding in the old corner house. Did these men murder their neighbor? What is going on?
And then, a coup in the new, more democratic former Soviet Union. Gorbachev's life is in danger, will the CIA and its experts respond to this threat to the young, fledgling democracy in Russia?
Crossroads is a complex action novel. An international espionage tale based on paranormal.
