Produktbeschreibung

Once again, Gene Ligotti has taken ordinary people and placed them in extraordinary circumstances. This exciting suspense thriller continues in Ligotti's special genre of presenting exceptional and unusual suspense thrillers. Picture this if you will . . . a husband and wife plan a vacation in Europe. They are a typical American couple who could be you and your spouse or anyone of your neighbors. Kathleen and Vincent Matteo saved and scrimped for a long time and truly looked forward to seeing the European countries and all they offered. What happened to them was totally unexpected. Landing at Heathrow Airport in London, Vincent has an odd confrontation that troubles him, but he puts it out of his mind. He hopes the incident is behind him. But three days later, when in Paris, Kathleen disappears. Vince spends the next couple of days in a frantic search for his wife, but he only finds out that she has been captured by terrorists, and for the most unusual reason. Working with agents of the CIA and Mossad, Vince, putting his life in danger while masquerading as the ISIS leader he looks like, travels through several countries visiting terrorist training camps and ISIS meetings in search of Kathleen. In turn, Kathleen, realizing her predicament, attempts to escape many times. You will sympathize with Vincent, our unlikely hero, as he is forced into clandestine activities he knows nothing about and is frustrated time and time again. The final exciting conflict with the actual leader is spell-binding. Can Vince prove he is the true leader and save his wife when confronted by the real leader? With his mind as his only true weapon, can he outwit those looking to defeat him? Gene Ligotti has created exceptional characters, and the character building of a young Arab girl is amazing. Once again, Ligotti has created a true page turner-a book you will not be able to put down.

Autorenporträt

Gene Ligotti was educated at Adelphi University on Long Island and received his doctorate from New York University. After coming down with Rheumatoid Arthritis, he had to give up his successful thirty year practice of dentistry in Huntington, New York. After he retired, Ligotti began writing as just something to do, but it soon became a driving force. He is an American Revolutionary history buff, has given lectures about the impact the Revolution had on Long Island and he has written three novels of interesting characters of the American Revolution. Ligotti is also the author of the much acclaimed, Time Never Heals; the biography of the first battalion surgeon in Vietnam. He soon began writing suspense thrillers which has become his special passion. Each suspense thriller has a love story as a sub-plot, but Twisted Deception, the sequel to the much applauded, Incredible Deception, continues as a love story with the suspense thriller element as the sub-plot. As a freelance writer he wrote a monthly column for the Guide Magazine about the history of villages in the Catskill Mountains and of the romantic Hudson River. His widely praised articles on dentistry have been printed in various Dental Journals. Gene Ligotti lives in Smithtown, New York with his wife Corbina, where they can be near their family, Gina, Lisa, Nick, and their grandchildren: grandson, Gino and twin granddaughters, Gabrielle and Juliette.
