The Kudzu & C-4 Fugue

Charteris Hew Ramsay, a.k.a. John Bishop XIII, is the head of Eberhart International...and a very wealthy man. As a boy, Hew's name was changed by his Grandfather Bishop after an attempt on Hew's life and the murder of his parents, which is chronicled in the book Regenerate.

An aficionado of classical music, especially that composed for bells and organs-and a virtuoso composer himself-Hew travels the world in search of ancient organs, underwrites the costs of rebuilding them, and moves them to sanctuaries and his homes. His wife Alexis and their oldest child John share his love of music-she is the music and arts director of a prestigious Atlanta, Ga. academy and John, at age six, is already receiving accolades too.

Alexis is unexpectedly forced out of her position and files a wrongful termination suit. Hew and Eberhart have agreed to invest in a new and highly secret transportation venture that promises to increase Hew's wealth exponentially. After a series of explosions and catastrophes, including one that once again endangers Hew's life, the family is faced with determining where the threats are coming from and why.
