What could a covert operation on a blizzard-blown tiny island in the North Pacific, a world-class intelligence agency near Washington D.C., and the deadly political antics in a Southern California coastal tourist town possibly have in common? Who is the focal point? Who is this unlikely man? Who is this behind-the-desk analytical type, who's become intolerable to a number of lethal characters, ranging from a small-town politician, an American president, and a sociopathic world leader? Extortion, revenge, power, and mayhem, along with their motivating forces, drive protagonists and antagonists alike. Why? STONES answers the questions above in a fast paced, roller-coaster read to be enjoyed by fans of thrills and intrigues, from first page to last.

Former CIA operative Magus Crayle must defeat the deployment of nuclear weapons to prevent the overthrow of several governments via his masterful Blackstone Strategy. The ultra-secret Illuminé society employed Crayle's strategy to transform China into an empire headed by Hong Kong finance mogul Chin Yao-wu. In return, Chin supplied the Illuminé's Elder with miniaturized nuclear devices. In pursuit of his own global conquest, the Elder orchestrates the actions of his most successful mole, Pope Innocent, along with his very own rogue CIA daughter, Pattie Norbrunn. Despite the support of the American president, Crayle and his eclectic team are stretched to the limit as they deal with catastrophic events in Hong Kong, China, Europe, and the USA. To stop the madness, Crayle must destroy the Illuminé's Elder, Pope Innocent, Pattie Norbrunn, and the elusive Mitim, who masquerades as a modern version of The Man In The Iron Mask. In Book 5 of his Thriller Series, author Dennis Bowen accelerates the pace to blunt the reordering of the global political landscape. For pretenders, this is the final pretense. For actors on the world stage, the final act. And for those who practice deceit, The Final Masquerade.
