Spies? Spying! Spied. These interludes concern the life of Edward Turcotte, a Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) spy who travels the world on the Government Dollar. He never overspends, he never indulges, he never does excess, but he helps the world go on through investigating crimes for the Canadian Government. As Canada’s role as peacemaker in Afghanistan ends, he winds up in China to uncover an alleged Chinese plot to spread Coronavirus (COVID-19).
