BLACK ICE / SHADOWED ROAD BLACK ICE is a novel of intrigue and suspense - a rollercoaster of twists and turns that will keep the reader guessing until the end of the book. Defying labels and genre, the book juxtaposes the lore of secret organizations against the raw emotions of man and woman. A web of mystery leading from betrayal to murder adds depth to a complex plot of manipulation and corruption on a universal level.
Freedom is the toyboy of the intellectual mind, a pleasurable illusion to be entertained, then, discarded in the face of harsh reality. Black Ice is that reality, an organization formed from power, for power, whose all-encompassing goal is to maintain and preserve the illusion of freedom for the civilized world.
World freedom is threatened by the development of a new mind-control virus, presenting Jason St.Claire with the greatest challenge of his long career. Can he best the leader of Dark Star, the man who was once his best friend, the man who taunts him with memories of a love long lost, but not forgotten.
When a series of gruesome murders disrupt life in Texas, Inspector Augustus Mallory is forced to venture into a twilight world where need and perversion unite. What will the deaths of a few prostitutes reveal about the higher echelon of southern society?
In an existence where kidnapping, betrayal, and revenge are commonplace, where death and life straddle an imaginary line of lies and duplicity, nothing is what is seems. All is illusion.
