Ribbons and Bows

About the Book

The year is 2006 and three disparate women have been brutally knifed to death in Philadelphia without benefit of an apparent motive or clues. Each has been stabbed once in the exact same place. The methodology and the motive baffle the local police. Detectives Ray Chrisman and Pete Weaver, one Black and one White, gamely try to collar the fiend responsible, but have no clues. The unwelcome FBI led by the beautiful Agent Rita Morales makes no progress also.

                 Only when Ray Chrisman gains access to a friend’s secret invention, the light discernment exteroseter or LDE is he able to see who did it. The LDE sifts through the invisible to the eye residue of previous light illuminations of mass. It basically shows in color visions of events that have passed before, visions that we incorrectly think are gone forever. The LDE has the power to open the entire past of our planet up for our leisurely scrutiny. It exposes the entire murder scene with shocking clarity. The use of the LDE solves the crime but also alerts powerful unseen forces of a new and dangerous toy, a toy they must have at all costs. These forces ruthlessly war with each other in their quest to gain the prize without regard to who gets in their way. Amidst this dangerous turmoil Ray Chrisman struggles to right a wrong, stay alive, and protect his loved ones, both old and new.

                 In this new century, opposing forces fight with new toys and old ones, all lethal, the object remains the same as in all the centuries before though: Eliminate the enemy and take, take, take….!
