Review & Description
When Mark Devore’s plane explodes high over the South China Sea, his grieving widow, Catherine Devore inherits control of his company, Devore Technologies. Distraught over his death, she secludes herself in Italy unaware that her husband’s death was the opening move in a takeover attempt orchestrated by Bill Caine, a ruthless Wall Street banker with political ambitions.
In the ensuing Presidential race, Caine is backing his long time friend, US Senator Jim Belcor who is favored to win. But, his candidacy is hostage to a shadowy Chinese government agency that knows Belcor and Caine murdered an enlisted man during a drug smuggling incident in the last days of the Vietnam War. By winning control of Devore Tech, Caine hopes to placate the Chinese and secure their silence by giving them Devore Technologies’ revolutionary code-breaking technology.
Catherine learns of the threat to her company and determined to avenge her husband’s death, returns to the States to wage a personal war and take down Bill Caine.
BLOOD DEBT is a story of betrayal and revenge set in high-ceilinged Senate offices, New York’s paneled boardrooms, and ultimately, the Oval Office itself. This political thriller in the tradition of David Baldacci will appeal to readers who like international intrigue, unforgettable characters and heart stopping plot turns.
Really strong excerpt. The nod to the current political climate was interesting. All of the characters were well developed as they were introduced and the excerpt provided an introduction to what promises to be a strong story. Well done.Blood Debt is an intriguing read! Total absorbed, I enjoyed this skillful author's prose from beginning to end. Read more
