Search - Rising Phoenix

In the most chilling yet plausible thriller of the decade, a renegade DEA agent and a TV evangelist team up to introduce the Final Solution to America's most intractable social problem.

John Hobart is a sociopath to who only results matter. Simon Blake takes his orders directly from an angry God, who demands an end to the devastation of drug addiction and damn the human cost. The narcotics are poisoned at their source, in the cartel's processing plant hidden in the jungles of South America. Meanwhile, full page ads appear in newspapers all across the national, giving addicts a simple choice:

Soon America's emergency rooms are flooded, chaos reigns in the inner cities, and the government is forced to act. Maverick FBI agent Mark Beamon is given the thankless task of finding out who's behind the shadowy "Committee for a Drug-Free Society". Teamed with Agent Laura Vilechi, who is as icily analytical as he is intuitive, Beamon begins a desperate "all-points" search across three continents, racing against the drug cartels, the American Mob and the mounting violence of "the street".

Vivid, believable, and blazing with lightning-fast action, this gripping first novel captures every dramatic instant of the manhunt for the only mass murders to win approval ratings in the polls. More than just world-class entertainment, Rising Phoenix is a story that will make you think twice.
