F.B.I. agent Karen Raney investigates two, apparently unconnected, criminals-a robber whose trail has gone cold and a possible embedded terrorist. Karen believes her robber is now into new crimes and is likely aided by others he has enlisted to aid and assist him. Karen tries to understand the two threats-ordinary criminals, in it for the money, and/or an extremist political group? Wrestling invisible opponents in a shadowy underworld, Karen finally faces down her robbery suspect who claims terrorism is unfolding on American soil. Have terrorists slipped past sleeping American law enforcement? Battling the inertia and skepticism of long entrenched politicians, Karen leads a dramatic foreign mission to capture a terrorist leader. Joining in a strange dance of survival with her suspected robber, Karen forms an unlikely alliance with strong romantic overtones. Will Karen flush out the terrorists and the robber, or will she destroy her career and end up on the wrong side of the law?
About the Author: Greg Pierce, a retired professional engineer and land surveyor, resides in northern New England, where he practiced engineering and surveying for forty years. With 'Sheep in the Fold', his first novel, he is indulging a long held fantasy to explore, through works of fiction, the affairs of governments and large, non-government organizations, both foreign and domestic and what crimes one might find within that milieu of the rich and the influential. If only one could point an invisible looking glass into the hidden inner workings of such tightly closed organizations, what might one find out? In creating fictional heroine F.B.I. agent Karen Raney and disabled American veteran anti-hero, Johnnie Pellagio and the clandestine patriot organization that Johnnie has founded and leads, the author has assembled just such an invisible looking glass. This looking glass is a vehicle capable of negotiating the hidden pathways of large organizations and exposing their secret inner workings. Now, finally, through the exploits of Karen Raney and Johnnie Pellagio, inquisitive readers and addicts of fictional crime and mystery writings have access to this powerful vehicle. Readers can join Karen and Johnnie and interact and move with them through their fast paced, always intense and sometimes explosive world. The reader will become intimately involved in exposing the crimes we have, all, always known were occurring just outside the field of our vision. In the current and in future novels, the author will be chronicling the exploits of this skilled and resourceful pair, assisted by a most interesting supporting cast of characters, each with unique spirits and fascinating backgrounds of their own, and all working in their strangely juxtaposed roles, to expose/conceal the hidden activities of the criminal underworld as it exists within the large organizations currently controlling the destiny of America and the planet.
