A Wrong Number

What happens when the lives of a happily married couple are interrupted by a string of wrong number phone calls that eventually lead to suspicions and doubts? Like many young men who served their country during the early fifties, Dana Higgins was very relieved by the news of a treaty with North Korea. Thinking this was as good a time as any, he enjoys a leave in China and encounters a charming young Asian girl named Suki. Before long, both are thrown into the dark, seamy side of the Orient. Soon, he realizes he's committed the cardinal sin that befalls many young men in the service ... and falls deeply in love. Like others before him, before having to leave Asia, he promises he will return to her. But unlike those others, thirty years later and now happily married to his stateside sweetheart, Kathy, Dana's carefree life is abruptly interrupted by a string of seemingly innocent wrong numbers. With a painful wedge growing between them, his long ago promise of reunion becomes a certainty. A Wrong Number is the gripping story of a love's worst nightmare. About the Author: David L. Eggert is retired and lives in Washington State. "The idea for this, my latest story, actually occurred in 2008, when I happened to get 'a wrong number' in which the caller (she) sounded very desperate. After which, I experienced feelings of d?j? vu that brought back my own experiences while in the Navy." Author websites: http: //sbpra.com/DavidLEggert and http: //www.davidleggertauthor.com
