By Other Means

Joel Sacks
Mia Jang’s murder in the spring of 2008 didn’t stand out as any less senseless than the other 522 homicides in New York City that year—not to the police who investigated the crime and not to the three people who witnessed it. But the tragic irony was that she had fallen victim to a botched robbery attempt, after only recently surviving being held hostage by international terrorists. Elke Braumann—an undercover German BND intelligence officer—had been crucial in rescuing Mia and her friends from those terrorists, bringing to a successful end her first mission, after nearly eight years under cover. With its completion, Elke had returned to her life at the BND and the new challenges it offered, completely unaware of Mia’s untimely demise. It isn’t until three years later, when Mia’s name starts popping up in analyses of intercepted communications from the Chinese Government, that Elke starts to question Mia’s fate, as well as her involvement in things she would have been better off leaving alone. In pursuit of the truth, Elke will have to reconnect with ghosts from her past as she tries to unravel international conspiracies connecting the unlikeliest of allies, from the Chinese Government and the CIA to her very own BND.
"In this dynamic tale that is energized by dry humor and wit, no one can be trusted and nothing is ever what it seems." - Foreword Clarion Review
Joel Sacks’ father served in the Office of Strategic Services during WWII. An American wartime intelligence agency, the OSS was a predecessor of the modern CIA. Perhaps it is not surprising then that Joel developed a fascination with politics and intrigue. Growing up in the suburbs of Washington, Joel Sacks worked at his father’s word-processing company during his summer vacations, making deliveries to government and congressional offices, which provided lots of fuel for discussion around the dinner table. He credits those conversations, and his father, for his love of espionage thrillers, as being the inspiration behind his writing. By Other Means is the follow up to Joel Sacks’ debut novel, City of Cards
