Had me on the edge of my seat the whole time with its fast pace and nonstop action. A real page-turner, it leaps from crisis to crisis and never slows down, twisting all the way to its gripping conclusion.

Here's the set-up:
Swift. Silent. Deadly.
Leopold Blake,
expert criminology consultant for the FBI, had his weekend all planned
out - and it didn't involve dealing with a murdered senator, a
high-profile kidnapping, and at least half a dozen near-death
experiences. Three politicians have been murdered in as many weeks, all
expertly dispatched, and only Leopold can get to the bottom of it.
Unfortunately,
as all hell breaks loose on the streets of New York City, he soon finds
himself the next target of a powerful enemy who wants him silenced.
Permanently.
Against the backdrop of political corruption
and murder, Leopold and his team must fight for their lives to uncover
the truth before it's too late. Panic is the first novel in the Leopold
Blake series of thrillers, which can be read and enjoyed in any order.
One Reviewer Notes:
It's a thrill ride, with a great combination of clever sleuthing and ferocious action scenes... and, of course, a shocker of an ending. The writing crackles with energy.
Jacques Antoine, author of The Emily Kane Adventures

Nothing, it seemed, could bring her down. Then she met the one man who neither feared her nor desired her. It was that encounter which was the beginning of her ultimate undoing and her terrible fall from grace…
