Opis

"Evil is ageless." It is summer, 1946... A lovers' quarrel between a married man and his pregnant mistress on a lonely, seaside cliff leads to murder - simple enough, or so says the Sheriff. But reporter Gemini Jones knows things are never as simple as they seem. Six months later, she meets the pregnant wife of an old beau, walking near the same cliff. After she leaves, the woman's husband is found dead, and the wife accused of murdering him. The Sheriff thinks the case is all sewn up, but Gemini suspects something strange is going on. She checks the paper's morgue, finds a similar crime happened within a hundred miles of that area every six months, dating back several years. She also finds handsome true crime writer Stephen Catch, who is in town to do a biography of the late scientist and pharmaceutical magnate Laszlo Draga. He agrees to add his expertise to the investigation. The last three murders took place near Draga's rundown mansion. Coincidence? Not when the evidence starts pointing to Draga as the killer. But how can a dead man commit a crime? AGELESS is a script-form novel, which means it is in present tense like a film script. It also has shorter, more succinct descriptions, as a script would. The gist of the story is told with the dialogue. I love writing in the script format - it's like writing a long, fluid poem. I consider it an art form unto itself. I hope to turn most of them into films eventually, but until I can, I'm content to publish my scripts in these books. It will take the reader a minute or two to adjust to the format, then you can sail through my stories easily and quickly; fast-paced books for a busy world. I hope you like them.
