About

Please join the conversation on my Blog, wesdemott.wordpress.com, a place for writers to work on their craft together. 

I am the author of 6 published books, with a 7th on the way. One book, first published as hardcover under the title "Vapors", found its way in paperback as "The Fund" and was translated into Czech ("Stiny"), Hungarian "(Arnyak"), and Russian, where it became an itnernational best-seller. The same novel also won the IPPY Gold award for best new Suspense/thriller. The e-format rights to all my books have now been bought by Admiral House Publishing, where you can purchase them.  All my books are also available at the Kindle Store and at the B&N Nook Books.

Description

<p>Terrified California residents face the shocking dilemma of yet another serial killer roaming freely in their neighborhoods. However, this time it is an evolving serial killer anomaly that relentlessly searches for, hunts down, and ingeniously traps his victims before unleashing his fiery rage. Always two steps ahead of the cops and fire investigators, the killer hones in on the next sinful target leaving a trail of bones and ashes behind as evidence. It rocks the criminal justice system to the core as a string of arson murders hits inside their turf.</p><p>Vigilante detective Emily Stone hunts serial killers and child abductors, covertly and under the law enforcement radar, with her intrinsic skills of criminal profiling and forensic investigation. With Stone’s toughest case yet, the arson serial killer immediately crosses her radar and sends her into the dark territory of a lethal pyromaniac’s mind – to the point of no return.</p><p>While following the clues of the relentless firebomber, Stone grabs the attention of a government anti-terrorist organization called GATE that oversees all law enforcement cases across the U.S., which now focuses their sights on her proven abilities. They have very specific plans for her, whether she likes it or not.</p><p>Everything teeters on the edge of reality, as Stone must battle for her life between a hired assassin and an arson serial killer. Lines are drawn on both sides of the law. Friendships and lovers are tested.</p>

Story Behind The Book

Robert Ludlum was a gracious man who hosted the launch party for my second thriller, Vapors. Although we shared a genre, my books were more political than his, at least until The Typhoon Sanction, which I wrote as my homage to Robert and the final step in my own transition from thrillers to adventure novels. Although I've had good success with three previous thrillers, I wrote The Typhoon Sanction as though Ludlum was looking over my shoulder. I think I succeeded in creating a story he would have loved to read.
