A new Joseph T. McFadden novel:
Burnt Offering
by Joseph T. McFadden
In dream fragments and lingering memories
she returns with the flame of love in blazing and stolen moments to play the empty game of King, Queen, Knave, the Knave still trying to grasp the elusive past while old tales retell themselves, but never the same way twice, the Queen now gone, the grieving King already with another woman...
from the Back cover:
Each morning now he, John Powers, comes fully awake
out of nocturnal struggles with an old grief, to find a
widow in his bed beside him sleeping peacefully as
the morning light begins to lift, she of a pearly white
glowing, his condolence, a gift delivered to his side by
ironies from hell, through long suffering and anguish.
Two murderers on the mountain, here in ski country,
plotting to murder each other have wrecked other lives,
delivering her, elegant little Millie, from the clutches
of an abusive husband on his 100th conquest and she
finally has her revenge. John Powers, world famous
author, busy at the resort writing a history of lovers
and a history of murder, meets and falls in love with
a queenly lady, but loses her to illness and to the
plotting and deceptions of the two murderers, one
of whom kills out of greed and the other uses a very
skilled organization adept at concealing murder as a
natural occurrence.
