Icarus Rising

Officer Calvin Geller is a state trooper with an attitude. He's big and he's bad and he's bald . and Mr. Clean he's not. He's recently had a roadside run in with Janet Wilkins, an innocent gal with a psychic secret. He has framed Janet for a crime she didn't commit and is hot on her trail. She's had a peek into the mind of madness- a little taste of the sordid psyche of the evil officer, and is on the run. Will she escape unscathed or become the next addition to his collection? She'll get some help along the way from the local police department, the FBI, and even the President of the United States himself. But even those formidable resources may prove no match for the maniacal madman, whose grand agenda goes far beyond Janet Wilkins, with a planned act of terrorism more destructive than any in the recorded annals of American history. To that end, the evil officer will orchestrate a frantic rollercoaster ride, stretching from the hustle and bustle of midtown Manhattan to sunny California. He will leave some cryptic clues along the way- a puzzling poem here, a mysterious message there. But unbeknownst to Janet, her only hope lies within the mind of an enigmatic blind boy named Doobie Egan, a mentally impaired ward of the state, who whiles his days away at the Louis Black Psychiatric Facility, the state mental institute, affectionately known as the black hole. Locked away in the child's mind is a hidden secret and a hidden talent- the keys not only to Janet's salvation but to national security. And of course . She is running out of time.Evil is afoot . and the clock is ticking.Hang on and enjoy the ride!
