The best way to explain my new book is this brief synopsis.
Former-narcotics officer William Evan Russell executed the man who raped and murdered his young wife and was sentenced to twenty-years in total isolation. Paroled five-years early, he is shocked to learn Pakistan’s nuclear attack on India has sent the world into a downward spiral of poverty, crime, disease, and rampant drug addiction.
