About
J. Curtis Cook
J. Curtis Cook did not quit his day job. For 35 years he kept working despite being stalked and harassed at home and at work by a former spy that wanted his story told as only Cook could tell it. But Cook had a middle class lifestyle and the bills that come with it. He worked. He spent some time as a salesman. Now, some people think ex-spies are best qualified to write spy thrillers. Not always. Spies survive by lying. Their thrillers too often are self-serving PR stuff. Cook's spy wanted the truth as only a salesman could tell it. Sure, most salesmen are liars, but they're also the most lied to of all the professions. They become expert at understanding the value of truth. If you last long enough, you get Social Security. Cook finally got away from all those dysfunctional jobs and cold calls. He finished that book. It's not just another romanticized and dubious spy thriller. It’s a novel about a particular spy that's been tailing Cook for a very long time.
