Sacred Seduction

About the Book

Investors and supporters of Egonaira, a vast, richly endowed country, renew their interest in it after it returns to democracy from a long military rule.

A year after the Government is sworn in, expectations and the safety of huge foreign investment and other interests are threatened by Head of State’s confrontational management style. A number of rich displaced people are bitter. They would not watch the Head of State self-destruct and ruin their investment, so they move in through a female American agent to administer a shock therapy on the Head of State.

Ace reporter Peter Abel is seduced into a swirl of events to administer the shock therapy. But the plan takes a complex turn, when at the same time, a displaced group of retired military officers and their political acolytes try to overthrow the government. The agent, who is a girlfriend of one of these displaced people only notices how close and dangerous this group has become when she flies in from her base in UK to salvage her own plan.

After a long walk in the maze, Peter Abel discovers the forces at play only to be rewarded with more pain. He sees it all, especially the suicide bomber sent to the Head of State. But his problem, HE CANNOT REPORT THE STORY.
