Darlene is my first complete novel. I can not say where I get the idea from but once I start a book, it just about writes itself. Darlene was an RN in a Siberian. She visited people in their homes as a sideline of her work and one of these clients was a rich diamond merchant. He was in the habit of using his hands freely on Darlene and one night in anger, she hit him with a lamp, killing him. She cleaned out his safe of diamonds and illegal American money and she fled to the U.S.
