Book Description

Publication Date: June 10, 2008

CIA Agent Hunter Dougllas remains in a six-month coma while being hunted as a rogue agent accused of the grisly murders of nine members of Congress. During one of Dougllas' coherent moments--in the presence of the Director of the CIA--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. 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.

This review is from: COMA (Paperback)

An anonymous voice on the phone calls the shots. The maniacal assassin who loves wet work carries out the assignments. He's systematically murdering members of congress, nine so far. The only evidence found at the grisly scenes is DNA, hair, and fingerprints belonging to CIA operative, Hunter Dougllas. Dougllas is a loose cannon, the unconventional "go-to" guy when international incidents get out of hand. CIA Director Carter Holloway can't believe his best agent has gone rogue and started butchering politicians, but witnesses describe Dougllas in detail, right down to his facial characteristics, hair and eye color. Still, Holloway has good reason to doubt the agent's involvement in the murders. Dougllas just woke up from a well-documented six-month coma.

Months before the murders, a bayou fisherman found Dougllas half-submerged and barely alive in a gator infested swamp. He'd been shot several times, once in the forehead, and left for gator bait. Small town doctors in a nearby hospital keep Dougllas alive, but doubt he'll ever function consciously again. They've underestimated their patient. Dougllas wakes up, fully functional and rambling about the murders. Director Holloway is notified by the local sheriff that their missing agent is alive and talking. Dougllas can describe each murder in vivid detail and insists he was present at all nine murders. But how?

The search for his look-alike assassin is personal for Dougllas. With the help of his partner Samantha Foxx and a couple friends in low places, he figures out why congressmen are being murdered and sets out to protect those remaining on the hit list. The bullet in his head causes blinding headaches, but it also provides frightening dreams and visions into the assassin's world. From Louisiana, to Washington D.C., to India Dougllas trails the predator determined to kill his way to the highest office in America. And that anonymous perpetrator of mayhem? That one came as a complete surprise.

This suspense thriller has everything to keep readers intrigued: a witty, unconventional hero; an exciting plot that delivers non-stop action from beginning to end; a seemingly unstoppable villain; and a couple beautiful women vying to domesticate the loose cannon. This one would make an explosive movie. Think Bourne, or the Bruce Willis version of The Jackal, then multiply by ten and you'll have an idea of what the movie version of COMA would be.
