Blackmoore

Within the secluded shelter of evergreens and cliffside that surrounds Bellingham Washington is South Hill, the city's prominent old money neighborhood; filled with gracious Victorians and manor homes, over looking the fishing port of Fairhaven and the dark waters of Bellingham Bay. Seventeen-year-old Trevor Blackmoore has lived here his entire life, shunned and feared, along with the rest of his clan by the snobbish and superstitious families that surround them; who regard the Blackmoores as the devil's concubines. As a young clairvoyant dealing not only with the dark secrets of his family but also with his homosexuality; two things which have made him an outsider, he struggles to find normalcy. Trevor's life is made extremely difficult by his tormentors and former childhood friends Cheri Hannifin, Greg Sheer, and Christian Vasquez; three school gods of the prestigious Mariner High School. When Christian suddenly returns to Trevor's life, full of regret and a sudden need for something more, Trevor is unaware that he is walking into a devilish and dangerous trap concocted by Cheri and Greg, who have more in store for Trevor than simple revenge but a plot to ruin an unsuspecting Christian as well; this act setting off a chain of events that will fulfill the doomed prophecy of the Blackmoore family, who in their mysterious world, lined with voodoo and their dark and complicated Irish roots, are in grave danger. A century's old curse comes to an end, releasing an ancient and bloodthirsty evil, set out on destroying the family, and Trevor learns that he is at the center of it; realizing that he is all the stands between this darkness and his family's survival.

The world has entered the new Millennium, and in the United States there are two forces on a collision course. The first is a political party with a grand plan to gain complete control of the country. The second force is New America, Inc, a secretive organization that sees the country headed toward a moral and financial crash, and seeks to accelerate that process while the American people are strong enough to recover. Caught between these two forces is George Grayhorse, Junior Congressman from Arizona. Appointed to fill out his father’s term when his father is murdered, George is wooed by party leaders with offers of power and prestige. He is also recruited by New America, Inc to help them with their plan to give the country a fresh start.

When his search makes him a target of his father’s killers, George takes refuge with New America, Inc. As the collision occurs, the American people erupt in outrage and George is forced to choose between saving the US congress from an angry mob and stepping aside and allowing the mob to take their revenge.

When Callaghan regains consciousness and discovers that he has been abandoned in the Sahara next to two corpses, he despairs about how to make it back to London without money or a phone. His greatest worry, though, is the loss of the ciclosporin pills that he must take regularly to prevent rejection of the transplants he has been subject to. He eventually makes it to the Mediterranean Sea, where his only alternative to return to Europe is to risk a precarious journey that will take him and several hundreds of hopeful, illegal African emigrants to Italy. After barely surviving the disastrous sea voyage, he continues his eventful journey through Italy to finally reach St Puys – the Swiss clinic where his two face transplants were performed. Knowing that he’s wanted by Interpol, at St Puys Callaghan manages to convince Dr Sternmacher to transfer him clandestinely to London in the hope of being reunited with Samantha. When he’s unable to find her, the penniless Callaghan pays a visit to the flat he was once the owner of. There, a great surprise awaits him. KIRKUS REVIEW Left for dead in the Sahara Desert beside two corpses, Matthias Callaghan—with no money, ID, or meds—finagles his way to his doctor in Switzerland and then to London. In this sixth installment of his series, Ekemar continues to breathe excitement into his face-changing, vengeance-filled, Jekyll and Hyde premise. As soon as the unflappable Callaghan reaches London, where he is wanted for jumping bail on a murder charge, he starts juggling the pieces of his fragmented life in his classic, inimitable style. Expect solid prose, action, plot turns, and conniving among the fully developed protagonists and antagonists alike. Callaghan haggles for an early hearing in his murder case using a picture of the mysterious Ivanovich as a bargaining chip. As in previous installments, the author nicely sets up his readers for the next episode with a grand finale, leaving various threads hanging. This tale’s well-drawn characters move like clockwork through a series of wild, suspenseful plot twists in a danse macabre of greed, murder, and revenge.
