A Talk with Kathleen Kent

BLACK WOLF is a spy-thriller based, in part, on the author's earlier career as a civilian contractor for the US Dept. of Defense, sent to Byelorussia (now Belarus) and Kazakhstan in the early 1990's as a project manager, facilitating in the systematic destruction of the vast arsenal of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons. Spending nearly a decade in the Former Soviet Republics she reported to national security forces, such as the CIA and NSA, as well as interfacing with Soviet political entities, and their internal security forces, otherwise known as the KGB. She has incorporated into the novel the colorful, and sometimes dangerous, characters she met while working for the DOD. And although she had the good fortune never coming face-to-face with a Russian serial killer, she has incorporated the deadly, decades-long murder spree of a real-life killer, known as The Butcher of Rostov.
