REAL POWER IS THAT WHICH IS EXERCISED BEHIND THE SCENES AND BEYOND SCRUTINY. The last decade of the millennium. Communism is gone, only to be replaced by the tyranny of a new breed of robber barons. An assassin's bullet leaves Temple, former American president, unable to communicate. Lilah, Temple's chosen ruler for the oil empire he built, is accused of treason and is in hiding from every dictator she ever rubbed the wrong way, every terrorist group she outmaneuvered. The clout of the Kingsleys now extends throughout the world. No matter who occupies the White House, Godwin Kingsley calls the shots. The one man who could stop Godwin is about to walk into a trap, framed for murders he didn't commit. From a graveyard in Brooklyn to the beaches of Goa, from strippers with secrets to dirty deals with the mob, The Indian Defense continues the saga of the Kingsleys, the Sheppards, and the Barronses as they battle in the shadows of American politics.¿¿¿¿Praise for The Indian Defense¿¿¿"...complex, twisting, and intricate... tantalizing chapter in a continuing saga..."

GREAT LEADERS CANNOT AFFORD TO BE GOOD MEN. 1986: Old scores settled, U.S. President Temple must consolidate control over a volatile nation and a changing world. A nuclear explosion in far-off Russia, political shifts in Western Europe, the AIDS virus... amid the disarray, three former allies refuse to cede command over the oil sector. The Kingsleys, the Sheppards, and the Barronses have united under the woman Temple once thought of as his daughter. Neither she nor the decorated Navy SEAL who used to be her childhood sweetheart will concede. Then there's the American aristocrat she's rumored to be romancing secretly. Temple cannot allow his affection for her to stop him from doing what he must. He will deploy a powerful weapon... someone who needs Lilah Kingsley to die. From Alaskan tundra to Manhattan Island, from backroom deals to glittering red carpets, The Cuban Gambit continues the epic tale of unstoppable greed and hunger for power, a story of illicit affairs and dangerous obsessions.

ONE MISTAKE IS ALL IT TAKES TO CHANGE THE COURSE OF HISTORY. It's 1973. Oil wars, terrorist attacks, Watergate... Senator Temple has his hands full, maneuvering political turmoil at home and the powder keg that is the Middle East. His mistake allows a criminal businessman to seize control of the world's energy sector. Powerful oil dynasties-the Kingsleys, the Sheppards, and the Barronses-could help Temple fix things, but greed and old grudges threaten the alliance. Three families, their fates interlinked. A politician with secrets. An enemy to fear. From high-society New York to dusty Middle Eastern villages, from broken romances to bitter conspiracies, they battle their way through the glitter and grit of the 'seventies and 'eighties. One wrong move from any of them, a single error, will echo across decades and change history. The Maltese Attack starts a gripping political saga, a tale of powerful men and women who fight ruthlessly, hate virulently, and love unwisely. Praise for The Maltese Attack "...page-turner... interesting symbolism... thrilling chase..." Blue Ink Review "...history... action... suspense... enough here to keep almost every reader happy..."

Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review "...unique and interesting... rousing narrative... smart and engaging..."
