Crime Thriller:
Homicide detective, Bruno Norcross, is called to investigate
the brutal murder of a college call girl. This isn't just any other crime scene.
Bruno has seen this scene before, only the last time, the killer got away
leaving Bruno feeling as though his career is incomplete. Nobody escapes
Bruno's grasp twice and when his nemesis arises again, it’s time to bring him
in. A serial killer, only known as the Kiss of Death, is back, only this time
he made a mistake. A witness, like no other, was left behind and this witness
knows the victim better than anyone.
Rosie's stalker, Ashley Truelove knows everything about her,
from what she wears to who she sees. The question isn't can Ashley help Bruno
catch the killer, but will he? With meager and confusing clues, two known
victims and time running out, Bruno realizes that the cost of bringing the
murderer to justice will be paid in blood. With the police Sergeant on his back
to catch this killer and provide justice for the death of his daughter, Bruno
is racing against time. Kiss of Death only hunts occasionally and time is
running out before he vanishes again. Can Bruno find the evidence to stop him
or will he escape his clutches once again?
Political Satire:
A virus has struck America and anyone with an IQ over 84 is
in danger. People's heads are exploding. The country is on lockdown. Everything
is about to change.
Luckily, the President of the United States is very much
still alive (and most of Congress, too). They’ve decided to fix things.
Which brings us to David Dingle. He's the not-too-bright guy
whom this whole story revolves around. A lot of people revolve around David
Dingle. Some of them include a Las Vegas cocktail waitress, an ineffective
jihadist, a Grand Dragon of the KKK, a creationist and his very extended
family, a pill-popping doctor, a drop-dead sexy clepto-nympho-suicidal-maniac,
and a rogue Illuminati mastermind to name just a few. All of them are eager to
figure out why their heads aren't blowing up.
Now David Dingle doesn't know much about these people, but
frankly, he doesn't know much about much. He's just a simple American with a
government job and a fantastic phone who one day finds himself at the epicenter
of the biggest biological terrorist attack perpetrated on American soil. And
now everyone's after him. Not cool. All the while, the President of the United
States has to keep voters’ heads from blowing up before re-elections - things
couldn’t get worse.
A timely satire that dives into the darkest corners of
American Culture, IQ84 examines some of the most controversial issues in
America today. It’s a book about freedom.

was becoming stronger as the evening grew closer. For a while she stood there
watching Lucas walk away, then finally looked away."
