A Golden Opportunity — Horace Shoerr

Come meet James Knight and Henrietta Hardin. The premier spies of the new millennium. In the finest traditions of Bond and Clouseau, they will deftly pull you into the hunt, introduce you to a hysterical group of characters and surprise you with an ending that leaves you wanting for more. Together they weave their way through a maze of deceit and deception with all the grace and aplomb of ballet dancers in a minefield.

A file is filched from the FBI. The purloined plan details a plot to steal four truckloads of gold from Fort Knox with the free-lancing forty-niners apparently being aided by renegade G-men.

Then FBI Director Vader herself goes missing along with a couple of Canadian wolves from Colorado.

The president calls in the DOGs. The CIA's Domestic Operations Group is charged with bringing back the file, the director, and the gold �" but not necessarily in that order. And it would be nice if they could put a stop to whoever is running an unofficial wolf reintroduction program or at least have them find friendlier critters �" “There is an election coming up for crying out loud!”

During Knight's inspection of a Special Weapons Storage Facility he finds there is no shortage of new uses for old nukes.

Henrietta takes to the air, earning her wings, leaving her instructor speechless, and the ground crew running for their lives.

The director finds out about life on the beach while the wolves take a walk in the park.

Fast cars, loose Lears, and enough gold to make heaven on earth, combine to make this trip down memory lane one for the books.
