Siblings Mickey Ray and Darcy Jean are informed that the automobile disaster that caused the death of their Mother and their Father’s multiple injuries including brain damage was not an accident but an attempted murder. The local police seem ambivalent, and their Aunt comes in with a forgotten Power of Attorney signed by their Father, Daniel, and tries to take control of the Real Estate holdings. The brother and sister team begin a power struggle and are physically threatened by unknown thugs which results in Mickey’s girlfriend disappearance which is presumed dead and Darcy Jean in hiding. James, Mickey’s best friend, a disfigured Ex-Military Black Ops operative, assists in the hunt to put a stop to the “takeover”. Terry Joe’s novel includes Simple Detective Work, Internet Research, Adventure, Action and Suspense with a Sprinkle of Romance, and a Fast-Paced, Explosive ending.
