What could a covert operation on a blizzard-blown tiny island in the North Pacific, a world-class intelligence agency near Washington D.C., and the deadly political antics in a Southern California coastal tourist town possibly have in common? Who is the focal point? Who is this unlikely man? Who is this behind-the-desk analytical type, who’s become intolerable to a number of lethal characters, ranging from a small-town politician, an American president, and a sociopathic world leader? Extortion, revenge, power, and mayhem, along with their motivating forces, drive protagonists and antagonists alike. Why? STONES answers the questions above in a fast paced, roller-coaster read to be enjoyed by fans of thrills and intrigues, from first page to last.
