"I'm already looking forward to the next white-knuckle entry in this 12-book thriller series."
- George "Harley" Davidson, Zoo in a Book
This is a contemporary psychological thriller about dark obsessions, and the fathers who pass them to their sons. Rife with international glamour, romance and intrigue, the story captures four patriarchal families in a generational conflict where the pursuit of global power at any price makes them the unwitting pawns of a hidden psychotic mastermind. Here is a contest to the death between two men, both driven by obsessive love: one for a woman; one, for power. One man is scarred by fire; one, by insanity. From the banks of the Potomac River to the cliffs above the Baltic Sea, these men fight each other with such ferocity that one endangers the woman he adores, and the other betrays the country he has sworn to protect. Mirroring the tragedy of the murdered, the reader will struggle to discern the fine line between victim and predator. Shadow of the Phoenix is the first book in a series of twelve edge-of-the-seat novels called The Sons Of Jacob.
