A whisper of uncivil war…

Dr. Kate Winter’s gift becomes a sword. Her instincts don’t define the outcome, only the pathway. Surprise and shock follow.

Kate’s hunch about the president is part of the story. A Ph.D. in psychology, a doctoral thesis on the homicidal urge, her unique tool is a psychic gift she doesn’t understand.

From her power base in Washington, D.C., feelers go out. How deep was the president’s involvement? A delivery received from a source in the Middle East confirms her instincts, and the flash drive provides proof it’s worse than she imagined.

Kate and her unique investigative team decide to expose the president and his friends, who value women as commodities.

Rousing the alt-White network of President John Jefferson Richards. A wily enemy.

But what’s in the Nevada desert?

She’s stumped. The president’s ex-wife won’t talk. The female vice president’s shut out.

Kate’s faced diabolical murderers, but never the force of the presidency at the nexus of world power, debauchery, and greed.

The president’s plan was simple.

Use whatever you can. No matter the source. Get what you want.

No matter the cost.

A primal scream and a prayer.

The motive offers leverage: “To secure the existence of our people.”

The lure of savage power.
