| JUST RELEASED . . . . The PRICE OF INNOCENCE is a thought-provoking action suspense thriller. It has been said that the sword of justice has no scabbard. Unfortunately, legal systems can merely offer an opportunity for justice. No system designed by man can guarantee it. The legal system designed to protect us can be distorted and corrupted by malevolent people who misuse it not only to perpetrate the worst injustices, but also to create the illusion that they, the bad guys, hold the moral high ground. The PRICE OF INNOCENCE is the story of a prominent respectable man framed for a monstrous crime by a group that calls itself Traction. Traction claims to be governed by a fearsome “green lady” who came from another universe and possesses bizarre powers. Traction’s purpose is to spread fear and destroy this man and others like him.. Its game is to annihilate the economic, legal and social system that they represent so that it can exhume wealth and power from the ashes of anarchy. Their tools are treachery, murder, sex, and deceit. There are a precious few willing to admit the seriousness of their threat or to challenge it. Murdock McCabe, a station chief for Veritus Investigations International, wades into the maelstrom. He learns to his dismay that even innocence exacts its penalty. He and Linda DiStefano, the framed man's C.O.O.,set out to prove to Traction that is has grossly underestimated both their ingenuity and dauntless courage.

Both the monk and the professor were engaged in the search for extra terrestrial intelligence. As the mysteries deepen, Murdock is tempted to wonder whether they had succeeded.
