About the Book
Set in the backdrop of the ever-worsening global warming, Snowflakes in the Sahara is the story of a Svengali-like mind-manipulator (Lute Aurum) who teams up with an American Business icon (Jeremy Steel) to take over the White House. When their puppet is installed as president, Aurum and Steel are poised to pull off the greatest heist in history: Canada. And they almost pull it off, if it weren't for Carly Mason, the Big Apple's tooth sleuth...A Kay Scarpetta-like forensic dentist.
One terrible day, two disasters strike America at the same time: the president's helicopter carrying him to Camp David crashes, and a bomb explodes in Rockefeller Center leaving three bodies unidentified. Carly is by turns tough and inquisitive, clever and cunning. She will need all her skills to discover the victims' names. As she gets closer to the truth, a killer is dispatched to silence her. What follows is a gripping tale of heroism against all odds. What's frightening is that Snowflakes in the Sahara is a tale that is only a presidential election away.
