No Escape: A Maze of Greed and Murder
Ebook
Overview
A mere proposal to legalize certain drugs results in dire consequences for all involved. US Senator Tom Graves’s proposal to legalize drugs creates a backlash from the religious right, whose opposition is unwittingly organized and funded by Carlos Renner, one of Washington’s many power brokers, not knowing that Renner is a drug lord. The opposition takes a deadly turn when a zealot detonates an explosive during the first hearing on the proposal, and Graves is hospitalized. During his recovery, he meets Dr. Victoria Bennett, a woman with a complicated past. Unaware of her background, they become involved. When tragedy later strikes, Graves resorts to his combat experience in Iraq to track down her murderer, who has fled to Rio. Captured by Renner, Graves is helped to escape by his daughter, Angelica, only to be tracked down and surrounded in an abandoned DEA safe house by Renner’s trained assassins. Escape seems impossible. This book is an international thriller that shows there can be No Escape.
“This is an entertaining read involving everything human that
one would expect from politicians, criminals, religious advisers,
and others of us. Greed, ego, and sex are all intertwined to
deliver a message of exasperated awareness regarding futility with
drug controls. Human nature rolls on, and well-intentioned
directives sometimes disserve.”
—Kenn Stolte, retired professional photographer
“This explosive legal thriller brilliantly weaves fictional
characters into the Washington, DC, reality of dirty and deadly
politics. No Escape is a captivating read that combines
action and jigsaw plots with fascinating and realistically
portrayed characters. H. H. Charles draws on his experiences as a
Washington power attorney to artfully expose the deep-rooted
interplay of power and corruption. This is a must-read for anyone
seeking an intense, provocative thriller.”
—Jane Wagner, attorney-at-law
