Lake Placid Redemption

Gary Canig, a rogue CIA agent, uses an unwitting patient, Hal, to cause an Electro-Magnetic Pulse to destroy all computerized devices in Lake Placid, killing people using medication pumps. Hal becomes sicker until all the computerized equipment is removed from his ICU room. A couple from New York City try to escape from Gary and fall in love.

Can Demian Listing, Will Williams, Bennie Grimm and others solve the puzzle of the Electro-Magnetic Pulse before the damage it has caused becomes a spreading, world-wide disaster? Can they capture Canig before he can ruin anyone else's lives?

This is the second in a series called: The Jay Mountain Healing Novels. Our group of characters include: Demian Listing, town philanthropist; Will Williams and Bennie Grimm, Military Academy graduates; Gunner, Marion, and Catherine, healers; and, new characters, Sarah and John.

Sarah and John are escaping from New York City. They are chased by Gary Canig, a rogue CIA agent. This agent has planned an Electro-Magnetic Pulse. It deploys and destroys Lake Placid via an unsuspecting patient, Hal. He is admitted to the ICU and his condition worsens.

Our characters watch with dread as the world is turned sideways. They must figure out the cause of the EMP before its spreading disaster becomes world wide. They must also try to help Hal recover before he dies from mysterious ailments.
