Genre:
Romantic Suspense
Have
you ever fallen in love and then had not just your life but your
conception of life altered forever? Come and find out more in A
POSTMODERN LOVE, a contemporary adult novel--romance, noire,
psychological suspense.
In
the end, a man is shot through the heart. Another man is driven to
the edge of madness. Caught between them is Lana Fauves, a beautiful,
intelligent woman, but one who is haunted by her past and the loss of
her true love, a musical genius. In this fast-paced novel--romance,
thriller, and noire--Thomas Wilde, a doctor and veteran of the Iraq
War, will stop at nothing to win over the woman he has desperately
fallen in love with. But amid the machinations of the modern world,
will he find true love, or only heartache, deception, and murder?
In
the end, the bullet goes through the man’s heart. Without oxygen,
the brain takes about five minutes to die. As the man lies bleeding
on the dirty pavement, his unmoving eyes must still be able to see
the killer looking down on him and to feel the killer’s hands on
him. Does he recognize the disguised face of the killer? No one on
earth can possibly know the answer to this question, and yet it would
continue to plague the killer for years to come.
As
for the killer, he would be obsessed to the point of almost seeing
through the man’s dying eyes. Sometimes he would wander the
streets, being blown here and there like an apparition, suffering
from its consequences. Unlike the dead man, there would be no
certainty for him; even his own intention would later become
doubtful—did he really mean to kill the man?
When
it all began, Thomas Wilde was merely trying to rid his conscience of
the guilt that had followed him home from Iraq. It began when he
caught glimpses of a woman around his office, whose beauty was such
that it gave him premonitions of a beautiful chaos. And wanting to
give her permanency in his idealized world, he called her Lady X.
He
had seen this woman several times and always in passing. The first
time, he was exiting an elevator as she was entering, and he couldn’t
help turning around to look at her. The second time, a couple weeks
later, he saw her walking down the hall and disappearing into a
stairway.
Once
at lunch time, he left his office and saw her near an exit, at the
far end of a hallway. White slacks above black high heels, a dark red
jacket, and a white scarf around her neck—there could be no mistake
that it was she. He ran. He reached the exit, entered the stairway,
and raced down. In the lobby, he got to the front door and
immediately bolted into the parking lot, looking around. She was
walking fast to a car with its engine running. She opened the car’s
door, and her hand was lifted high, resting on the rim of the door
for just a second before she stepped in. The car drove off. He stood
still, looking on, until it turned onto the street and merged into
the rushing traffic.
He
decided he must know her name.
