One man wants to destroy the world.
One woman hopes to save it.
|
Hundreds die in a fiery train crash in northern China.
A cargo ship smuggling refugees is lost to calm seas off the Libyan coast. Entire villages in Ghana are turned into ghost towns overnight. A young freelance medical reporter uncovers a disturbing pattern between these seemingly unconnected events: each is preceded by the sudden spread of a mysterious ailment and is followed by the appearance of a man dressed in black and silver who witnesses claim is the devil himself. Are the tragedies harbingers of an impending biblical catastrophe or practice runs of a fanatical organization bent on global annihilation. |

China (book 1)
Lured to a remote island playground off the coast of China, medical reporter Angelique de l'Enfantine is contracted by an apocalypse prepper group to investigate a series of seemingly disconnected global tragedies. Before long, she is trapped in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with government agents and corporate spies who will kill to keep their secrets hidden. Will she uncover the truth before it's too late? Will she stop the deadly attacks? Or are they just beginning? |

Iceland (book 2)
After learning that her ex-husband has been implicated in a terrorist plot to kill thousands of innocent Parisians, French medical investigative reporter Angel de l'Enfantine must uncover who is truly behind the attacks and where they intend to strike next before anyone else has to die. But her only ally, a man who knows her secrets and claims to have her back, has mysteriously disappeared. Meanwhile, the terrifying Man in Silver and Black continues to haunt her, both in her nightmares and her waking hours. From Paris to the Mediterranean, the Middle East to Iceland, the deeper she digs, the more she realizes how everything connects back to the horrific ordeal she experienced in China, an ordeal she barely escaped from alive. This time she may not be so lucky. |

Time is running out for French medical investigative journalist Angelique de l'Enfantine. Someone - or something - is hot on her trail. And with each event growing more grisly than the last, the risk to her own life becoming extreme, Angel begins to wonder if maybe her sponsors are using her to advance their own paranoid agenda.

Cuba (Book 4)
In this fourth and final installment of THE FLENSE series, all is finally exposed: the connections between each global killing event, her sponsors and her quarry, the Man in Silver and Black... and her family and herself. Only now can she begin to unravel the mystery laid out before her and hopefully put a stop to it once and for all... before it's too late. But she may be too entrenched now. And the perpetrators behind the deadly attacks have far too much invested to let her stop them. |
