The rural swampland of south Florida provides a vivid backdrop for a scheme to take down the American government. Rogue CIA agents and a rich rancher conspire to develop radar-jamming and remote guidance systems that control civilian aircraft from the ground. Following two midair disasters over the skies of south Florida in the course of a month, the FBI and NTSB are at odds whether the crashes were simply a coincidence or a criminal act.
Meanwhile, recently fired sheriff’s deputy, Willy Banks, sets out on his own to investigate a string of bizarre deaths in the small community of Seminole Bend and discovers evidence that could link those deaths to the recent air tragedies. A web of intrigue unfolds, and the cast of fictional characters are interwoven with historical events and actual places to lure the reader into an entertaining labyrinth of Deep South culture, governmental stratagem and international conspiracy. The only way out is through the last page.
GILA BEND
Wealthy British parliamentarian, Lord John Shaffer, Sultan Tariq Nassar of Saudi Arabia, and Directorate Chief of the Russian KGB, Yegor Bovnik, have surreptitiously recruited a fourth member into their clandestine organization of powerful magnates—an American statesman with a mysterious connection to southern Arizona. Now, a disastrous botched immigration raid on a rural school near the Mexican border has created turmoil in the sleepy town of Gila Bend. At the same time, Senso-McNamara Corporation in Mesa has inexplicably been blown to pieces. Worse yet, Arizonans are beginning to lose their memories.
Is it all a coincidence? As their minds are fading away, an unlikely hero teams up with a dishonorably discharged Air Force colonel in a race against time. The duo’s only chance for success is to steal a fighter jet from Luke Air Force Base and fly it to the desolate Rub’ al Khali desert on the Arabian Peninsula where the answer appears to lie.
The fate of world order hangs in the balance.
