A Vetted Asset
Description
While unloading boxes during a recent move to another town, MacLaine Winters unveils family secrets she never knew existed. Her husband has a false identity, it turns out, and it’s tucked away inside some of his old record-album sleeves. MacLaine begins to follow his trail of lies while he is away on a business trip, and discovers that her husband, Spencer Winters, is not Spencer Winters; he’s using a fake name coined by the Witness Protection Program, which also planned their marriage.
MacLaine enlists the help of her father, a retired covert military operative, her adventurous sister, fearless political leading brother, and 4-year-old daughter to uncover the identity of Spencer Winters and Henry Poole, who has connections within the Russian mafia. Even when the task seems arduous and too dangerous to solve, MacLaine begins to figure out the truth in this whirlwind mystery of spies, the mafia and the FBI.
In Dayna Rubin’s fast-paced thriller, “A Vetted Asset”, we discover that Spencer left behind a wife and child in another life. While the news disturbs MacLaine, the feeling of being followed motivates her to set out to investigate the reasons behind Spencer’s transformation.
Readers discover that Spencer entered the program because he knew too much about the inner-workings of an international moneylender, the Paris Club. He provides the FBI with a list of corporations and their illegal ties to the Paris Club, which was involved in a major financial scheme. The revelation meant that he would become Spencer Winters, and start another life elsewhere. He just never happened to tell his current wife.
“I set out to strike a chord in combining the serious subject of loss, witness protection, military and mafia with humor,” said Rubin. “I make a strong statement for empowering women and retired military to stand up and be valued. This is a lighthearted book that touches on serious matters, while it makes you believe in the strength of family.”
