THE BROKEN LINE What do you really know about your parents?
..".Look, when you get this message, call me," Elaine's twin
brother tersely instructed. And before Lane could terminate the
connection, she snatched up the receiver and greeted her younger
brother. It had been a while since they had last spoken, and when
he mentioned their parents, she was curious and picked up. Missing?
How could that be? Where were her parents? In The Broken Line,
Elaine steps into Kash Bennett and Leslie Scott's world of mystery
and intrigue while retracing their steps and realizing that much of
the existence she enjoyed as a child was a cover for a double life.
Not unlike Alice falling through the proverbial rabbit hole where
nothing is as it seems, Elaine realizes that her parent's
disappearance might be far more than a tragic accident and her own
life may be more complicated than she ever thought possible;
especially when she learns her soon-to-be ex-husband, Jack Phillips
is in the family business as well. Combining the journals she finds
in her parent's attic, Elaine follows the clues from as far back as
1947 China to the present day in trying to locate her folks. She
blends new age technology with old world spy techniques to close
the gap in finding Kash and Leslie and the mole they had been
chasing for nearly six decades.
A high-voltage thriller as electrifying as today's headlines. Marly
McCalley, a secretive computer expert, is thrown from her Chicago
high-rise, leading police to tag her boyfriend, Zack Dreyben, as
their prime suspect. Struggling to prove his innocence, Zack
narrowly escapes his own murder and soon realizes that he, too, is
a target. Unwittingly, Zack has become embroiled in an anarchist's
plot to destroy the electrical infrastructure of the U.S. But,
rather than using explosives or hijacked jets, this ingenious
scheme is designed to attack the power grid using the Internet,
prompting the grid into cascading failures of self-destruction.
Trains and subways will stall. Fuel and water supplies will
evaporate. Worst of all, survival riots will violently pit citizen
against citizen. Until now, the important things in Zack's life
have been limited to business success and his current lover.
Suddenly thrown into a struggle of monumental importance, Zack must
confront not only his own death, but the deaths of additional
thousands. Who is Zack Dreyben? And, can he muster the courage and
command to save himself and the American way of life?
