D. D. Cross

A den of Brigands D. D. Cross

Everyone's got something to hide. In times of war extracting facts from an enemy couldn't be done fast enough. With the tap of a Taser-like device freezing a person solid and removing neural pathways gives real time access to deeply guarded thoughts. As with any new technology a new breed of criminal is born, stealing ideas, memories, and vivid imagery. The brain police crack down on the memory thieves who lay low taking with them the skills and knowledge they've ripped off. Jet Black is a demon tormented by a need to control. He collects bodies and removes thought paths, implanting diseases for kicks. For the right price he turns healthy people into walking time bombs with creeping cancers and explosive organs. Who's going to stop him? Milton Chase MD is sent to prison for a murder he didn't commit. He gets sprung to track down the bad guy and bust up his ring of terrorist thieves. Who's screwing who and what are their plans? A biochemist heir to the African Throne, a pair of Feds one a sexy femme fatale the other a jolly G-man with his own agenda, a crooked Cayman Banker, a twisted sadistic surgeon, a weasely pimp, or the good doctor himself? It could be anyone in A Den of Brigands...
