About THE COURIER
For over five
hundred years the Bona Family Trust has been in the courier business with its
couriers delivering secret documents between monarchs, heads of state,
international businesses, international agencies and powerful individuals who
control the world’s economics. It was contrived by two powerful sixteenth
century women: Bona Sforza, Queen of Poland and Roxelana Hürrem Sultan, of the
Ottoman Empire. Esther Handali, a Jewish agent for Roxelana made the
triumvirate. Since royal couriers were frequently slaughtered on their travels,
older women were selected as couriers because they, like most older women, were
invisible in the world of men. Their journeys to visit relatives and other
courts were a perfect cover. It worked well until the 21st century.
Beatrice Wheeler San
Giacomo is a dedicated courier member of the Trust along with several other
women who are also direct descendants of the founders. All agents are fifty to
seventy years old. A few are older. She accepted what seems a routine
assignment and immediately things are different. The operating protocols have
changed and it becomes obvious that the Trust has developed new methods to keep
adversaries from discovering the couriers. The ability of governments to hack
into communications technology made these couriers more valuable, but the same
technology also puts them at risk. Beatrice finds that she must adapt on the
job or be kidnapped and perhaps killed. The changes by the Trust to become a
modern international business leads to the betrayal of all she believes.
