Ten Seconds to Die

When a hiker turns up dead at the base of a cliff near Dahlonega, Georgia, Deputy Sheriff Bob Denton believes he has an accident on his hands—until the hiker's sister discovers a peculiar clue. Joined by Marlane Somer, a young journalist in search of a story, Denton investigates what becomes a string of unusual deaths, all apparently tied to a pharmaceutical plant in the North Georgia Mountains. Denton and Marlane realize they're onto something much bigger, darker and dangerous than a murder investigation. Arrested under trumped up charges, Denton becomes a fugitive, and Marlane is kidnapped. Bob is convinced the truth lies deep underground in an abandoned gold mine. He risks his life to uncover an operation putting him on a collision course with a well-funded terrorist organization with Nazi connections. The reader is plunged into a fast-paced thriller featuring an international conspiracy whose tentacles reach into major U.S. cities, Germany, the Middle East, and Africa. Ten Seconds To Die is an enthralling page-turner, filled with unique and compelling characters, unexpected twists and turns and a jaw dropping revelation at the end.
