Platinum Blackmail

About the Book

Cryptic messages appear on Mark Sterling's secure iPhone and direct him to visit a website where he discovers photos of him in bed with a teenage girl. Along with explicit instructions to pay a million dollars in blackmail to keep the story from the prying eyes of the media.

Like some modern-day job, Mark finds his sales career sabotaged, his company in danger of bankruptcy, his modeling expectations at a brick wall, and himself the victim of a vicious ship-board attack. Then things get worse. Mark is wanted for murder, his house is blown up and burned to the ground, and he's knee-deep in a cosmic battle for his life against the forces of cyberspace.

Platinum Blackmail is a story of high-tech power, sex, Wicca, murder, and love that displays the intimate psychological thought processes of a somewhat self-consumed man, forced to mature and realize one of life's important lessons: be careful what you wish for since nothing is as it seems.
