Larry D. Bergsgaard retired after nearly thirty years in law enforcement where he served as a Special Agent with the United States Treasury Department and the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. Mr. Bergsgaard recently published two books in a crime thriller series which follows Special Agent "Doc" Martini through international investigations with political intrigue. Critic Ed Lord reviewed "Next Year in Jerusalem." ". . . it is a great read that moves with the speed of a missile. I believe this novel elevates Bergsgaard to the level of the great espionage writers, the likes of John LeCarre and Fredrick Forsyth. . . . The strength of this book is its believability." The second book in the series is "While Others Sleep." Mr. Bergsgaard will be at the Tucson Festival of Books.
