Description
Somebody is taking lives in Crystal Lake City—and they are taking their victims’ faces with them. Detective Arra Everglade is determined to stop the bizarre killings, but when the killer strikes too close to home, Arra is slapped with a loss so devastating that it just might destroy her. That is when Arra learns about Sol King and the Beta Agency: an organization of genetically enhanced soldiers, all of whom are just as determined as Arra to put the killer in the ground. The Director of the agency invites Arra to join them, on one condition: that she poses as one of their ex-agents, Fey Watters, for the duration of the mission. Arra accepts, only to quickly realize that she has signed up for more than just alternative employment. As the hunt for the killer intensifies, it becomes clear that King and the agency are part of something so much greater, and far more dangerous that she could have ever imagined. And now, Arra's life will change forever.
About the author
I was born in the amazing, up and coming city of Accra. As a child, I loved to write and illustrate comics. That is, until I realized that I was more interested in the stories I was telling that in the pictures I was drawing--and I wasn't very good at the second bit anyway. I prefer to call myself a storyteller, instead of an author. That's because, although I toil to craft sentences and produce solid paragraphs (like any good author should), they are but a means to an end. My love affair is not with the words. You won't find an overindulgence in flowery prose in my work. Instead, my obsession is with telling stories. All I want to do is tell you a story. The story is all that matters; it's all that ever will.
