Dick Rousts the Russkie — Richard L. Avery

Vlad the Impaler, as nicknamed by his former KGB colleagues, is a shadowy, elusive figure who terrifies even the most hardened intelligence officers in both the old and new Soviet spy service. He is a vicious sociopath and that remarkable fact served the rodina, the motherland, well during his long career as a sanctioned killer for the former Soviet Union. But now he is using his nefarious talents on behalf of a Middle Eastern country supporting jihad and reaping obscene profits from manipulating the international spot markets for crude oil.

Diplomatic Security Service Special Agent Dick Avery and Russian intelligence officer Ludmilla Petrova join forces to stop the madman from turning off the spigots of black gold!

Okay, we admit Dick's not the most politically correct agent alive, and he sometimes bumbles and reminds us of what happens when you cross a certain French Inspector with a British Legume to produce an American Dick, but you have to admit that he's as cute as a pink Rottweiler when he's on the scent of a good case! Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks?
