Author Charlie Spillers has released his latest book, “Whirlwind-A Frank Marsh Novel.”
Charlie is a 1963 graduate of Magee High School. He spent three years in the the U. S. Marine Corps before embarking on a 42 year career in law enforcement. He graduated from the University of Mississippi with a business degree in 1981 and Ole Miss Law School in 1986. After 10 years of undercover work, Charlie served as a regional commander for the MBN and later spent 23 years as a federal prosecutor.
Charlie resides in Oxford with his wife Evelyn where he serves as an instructor in continuing legal education courses.
With all that said, Charlie is one smart guy who is now recognized as an accomplished author.
I interviewed Charlie when he released his first book, “Confessions of an Undercover Agent.” Patrice and I went to the ETV station in Jackson for the interview which was my first time to officially meet Charlie. I was enthralled with Charlie’s story. Of course, one of the first things I asked him was how did his wife handle an undercover life!
Charlie already has the 3rd Frank Marsh novel half-way complete. I asked Charlie who Frank Marsh was. He hesitated and replied, “ a combination of people he met along the way.” Personally, I think Frank Marsh is his alter-ego! But, again, that is just my opinion.
I have my copy of “Whirlwind” and plan to read the book soon. The reviews have been great on Amazon. Will give a “Sue review” in a few weeks.
You can purchase the book on Amazon.
Charlie is an interesting fellow with an extraordinary background. Reading the experience of his life in book form feels almost personal and invasive.
Charlie is in full-blown book tour mode. After leaving Magee Saturday, he and Evelyn were heading to the coast for speaking engagements in Ocean Springs. He is signing books everywhere he goes! Marketing a book isn’t easy. In my opinion, Charlie has found the secret. I’m just glad he realized MageeNews.com was the place to start!
A short description of what to look for in “Whirlwind.”
A drone strike in Syria unleashes a chain of volatile events in the U.S. and Europe that embroils Hezbollah and Iranian death squads, the FBI and the White House. FBI agent Frank Marsh and NSC staffer Kathy Foster are thrust into the middle of an international terror plot that puts their lives and the lives of thousands in imminent danger.
In retaliation for the drone strike, terror cells are sent to the U.S to launch attacks. When a terrorist dies in an auto accident, FBI agent Frank Marsh discovers that an attack in the U.S. may be imminent. Based on vague clues, he and Kathy Foster try to figure out where the terrorists plan to attack and they try to prevent it. At first, sparks fly between Frank and Kathy because of an issue from their past. The investigation is also hampered by bureaucratic obstacles, turf battles among national security agencies and treachery. They become outcasts from their own organizations and no one will listen when they discover the possible target of a terror attack.
Frank discovers that someone in Washington, D.C. is providing information to the terror group. In Tehran, Marwan, the commander of an Iranian assassination unit, realizes Frank and Kathy are a threat to uncovering the traitor and he targets the couple for assassination. Gripping intrigue propels Frank, Kathy and Marwan to a final confrontation.
