A Deadly Twist of Fate


Book Description




Devil's Ether


Book Description

In this debut novel published in 2012, RR Cherla has shown keen foresight in envisioning the technological and political scenarios that are playing out in the United States today. Devil's Ether has striking parallels with NSA's covert surveillance program PRISM. The book's account of highly intrusive monitoring techniques and widespread abuse of power, could well be the extremity of the real-life scheme. DEVIL's ETHER : The Network takes a deadly twist For the purported cause of America's security, a clandestine faction of the United States government is using Remote Neural Monitoring techniques to pry into the lives and minds of citizens. A deadly game where Netizens are unwitting players. Social media and communications companies, in their mad rush to connect billions of citizens through the Internet, Social and Mobile Networks, have provided the antagonists the perfect platform to establish a massive surveillance grid. An upright but naive American President and an ineffectual Director of National Intelligence are led to believe that the Intelligence community is acting in the best interests of citizens. Sara Sheppard, a young suburban mother, confronts the group to protect her family from the terror unleashed on it. Determined to save her family, a desperate and clueless Sara sets out on an investigative journey - transiting from the corporate world, into the mind of a prize-winning neurobiologist and to the sleazy red-light districts of Washington DC. As she begins to uncover the devious scheme, the ingenuity of the operation and the scary possibilities become palpable. A thought-provoking thriller that neatly morphs state-of-the-art and sci-fi, Devil's Ether leaves the reader with the feeling that the last frontier of privacy - the mind - is about to be violated. Set against the backdrop of international intrigue and a connected world, Devil's Ether is a fast-paced read.

Deadly Devotion


Book Description

Even the most avid true crime fans will be shocked by the story of Marcus Wesson of Fresno, California, the worst mass-murderer in the city’s history. But the horrors he inflicted upon his family are nothing compared to the strength of the survivors, and one brave reporter who risked everything to help them. Originally published as Where Hope Begins. For decades, the family of Marcus Wesson—his wife, Elizabeth, and seventeen children—lived sequestered in a social and emotional prison, enduring his tyrannical reign of physical, sexual, and mental abuse. Then came the terrible day when a family confrontation erupted into a harrowing standoff: with police and SWAT teams descending on a small blue house in central Fresno, Marcus Wesson murdered nine of his children. Television reporter Alysia Sofios got the first tip about Wesson’s arrest and was witness to every twist and turn of the horrific case through to Wesson’s trial. Risking her job and her life to offer friendship and support to the traumatized family members—scarred by memories and guilt, reviled for having the Wesson name—Sofios chronicles the case that shocked the nation, and gives voice to their astounding stories of survival. This is a stunning account of healing from one man’s unimaginable acts, and how each, in time, learned to break free from a deadly devotion.

Book Description

The New York Times bestselling author and International Thriller Writers “Best Novel” finalist Lisa Unger returns to the dark psychological suspense that made Beautiful Lies a bestseller around the world. Lana Granger lives a life of lies. She has told so many lies about where she comes from and who she is that the truth is like a cloudy nightmare she can’t quite recall.

Expelled from schools all over the country, the manipulative young Luke is accustomed to controlling the people in his life. But, in Lana, he may have met his match. Or has Lana met hers? When Lana’s closest friend, Beck, mysteriously disappears, Lana resumes her lying ways—to friends, to the police, to herself. The police have a lot of questions for Lana when the story about her where­abouts the night Beck disappeared doesn’t jibe with eyewitness accounts. Lana will do anything to hide the truth, but it might not be enough to keep her ominous secrets buried: someone else knows about Lana’s lies. And he’s dying to tell.
