When three covert operatives are killed while investigating the kidnapping of a congressman's daughter, John Drake is called in. Driven by personal demons, he is determined to deliver his own brand of justice. As Drake tracks the most powerful enemy he has ever faced, an already tough mission becomes nearly impossible. His assignment propels him to the fulcrum of a new World War, and a CIA plot to incite conflict between the Muslim oil countries and Israel unfolds. Haunted by trauma from his past, Drake must ultimately confront the most terrifying identity of all - his own. But can he hunt down the most dangerous man in the world and prevent a war - or will he become the monster he hunts?

About the author

Patrick served his country at Fort Benning in the 1980s, with a specialty in Advanced Infantry Training. A conversation Patrick had with a schizophrenic veteran who believed he was a secret assassin sparked an idea that would eventually inspire him to write his first novel, Execution of Justice.

After the military, Patrick attended Presbyterian College, where he majored in Political Science and began to have short fiction published in PC's literary magazine, Figs and Thistles. He eventually earned a Masters Degree in Chemistry. His GRE scores qualified him for entry into Mensa.

While Patrick's military and Political Science background provided excellent groundwork for Execution of Justice, the Chemist in him has generated a new techno-thriller series, Mortal Coil.

The first book in the Mortal Coil series will be released in 2018. Themes include the hubris of Man and the catastrophic possibilities of genetic engineering.

Patrick lives in South Carolina with his wife and newest son.
