When the Spy in Me Awakens S M Barton

Inspired by now-declassified CIA research programs during the Cold War...

What happened at Dr. Arcanum Lock's camp back in 1965? Haunted by disturbing memories of Dr. Arcanum Lock's "Whole World Healing" peace camp, Gillian senses that the key to the present nightmare lies in her idyllic past. Was she programmed to spy on the United States government?

Gillian Goodwin gets an SOS from a childhood friend who went to Camp Eirene with her. Jack's life has been turned upside down and inside out ever since Homeland Security began its investigation of him as a national security threat. But that's the least of his problems. Jack's on someone's kill list. It's sheer luck that Gillian follows him to a clandestine meeting and witnesses the brutal attack by a would-be murderer.

While Jack is in the hospital's ICU, another friend from Camp Eirene calls Gillian in a panic from Washington, DC. A vicious blackmailer is threatening the talented violinist with the New Hope Orchestra. Desperate to keep her husband, a diplomat, from finding out a dangerous secret she's kept for decades, Val drags Gillian into a web of lies that knows no end.
