COMA

A sadistic assassin, dismembered Congressmen, and a devious plot to overthrow the president send CIA agent Hunter Dougllas halfway around the world on a seek-and-destroy mission. Add the distraction of two beautiful women and a bullet painfully lodged in his skull, and his task is formidable.

The premise for my latest 82,000 word suspense-thriller, COMA, was reviewed by two bestselling authors. F. Paul Wilson regarded it as a “Very high concept.” James Rollins wrote, “Sounds very intriguing.”—and advised, “You should run with it.”

CIA agent Hunter Dougllas is discovered half-submerged in a Louisiana bayou, severely wounded and barely alive. As a John Doe, Dougllas remains in a six-month coma while being hunted as a rogue agent accused of the grisly murders of nine members of Congress. Dougllas’ condition is brought to the attention of CIA Director Carter Holloway. During one of Dougllas’ coherent moments—in the DCI’s presence—he manages to describe each detail of the murders and admits he was there. But how could that be? He’s been bedridden in a coma for the past six-months.

During a difficult recovery, Dougllas realizes that for his own sanity, he must escape the small Louisiana hospital and ferret out the real assassin who stole his identity—and stop him from assassinating the President of the United States—thus allowing the mastermind behind the evil events direct access to the presidency.
