Robert Dean Bair

The Cloisters of Canterbury, a political suspense novel, is scheduled to be released by ArcheBooks in July 2006. Robert Dean Bair tells the story of courage exhibited by a group of ordinary people with deep convictions, honor, patriotism, and integrity. They risk their lives to fight corruption, treason and murder during the months leading to the end of World War II and thereafter.
President Harry S. Truman has concerns about the United States intelligence organizations, military contract fraud and information leaks from within the government. This covert group of ordinary citizens, who are not part of the government, share the president's concerns about the effectiveness of the government’s intelligence organizations and gather information from many points of the world for the President of the United States and certain members of Congress. The group is also determined to locate any Nazis wanted for war crimes that have escaped from Europe and return them for trial. Murder, fraud, identity theft, leaks in the government, and concerns about the intelligence community are rampant, not unlike the world today.
