Book Description
Frustrated by political obstacles to their goals of economic world domination, a group of unscrupulous American industrial tycoons secretly finance a new political party, the American Freedom Party (AFP). They plan to use the AFP to subvert the Constitution and further their monopolistic national and global agendas. What they fail to realize is that John Gerard, their charismatic presidential candidate, plans to double-cross them and, like Hitler, become a dictator. These conspiratorial financiers create international economic and political crises that leave the Republican and Democratic parties hopelessly divided and ineffectual. With behind-the-scenes manipulations, AFP enables their candidate to resolve these crises and gain the support of the frightened citizens of the United States. Only two people can thwart these plots: Dr. Ritter, a psychologist who once treated the future presidential candidate, and Solomon Weissman, a muckraking journalist. During hypnosis sessions, the psychopathic Gerard unknowingly reveals his plans to Dr. Ritter. Meanwhile, Weissman penetrates the financiers¿ New Millennium Consortium and learns of their plans. In his climb to power, Gerard arranges for the disappearance of his opponents and those familiar with his past. But the one adversary he doesn¿t anticipate is the only man who knows the secret behind the hobgoblin nightmares that haunt both Dr. Ritter and himself. Paranoia and politics intertwine in this perceptive¿thriller. At the center of the narrative are Martin Ritter, a hot-shot psychology student plagued by hidden insecurities, and his patient John Gerard, who rants under hypnosis about his plan to impose a fascist regime on America. Dr. Jaffe, a psychology professor, draws a sharply observed, often hilarious portrait of clinical psychology, as Martin and his colleagues jockey for status, subtly manipulate patients and wrestle with their own issues. The story is, at one level, a deftly fictionalized debate between psychoanalysis and cognitive therapy. Martin is an unusual and appealing hero for a political thriller. Outwardly deploying the therapist's earnest, rationalistic aplomb, inwardly bubbling with neurotic self-consciousness, he seems like Woody Allen stuck in a remake of The Manchurian Candidate. -Kirkus Discoveries

Book Description
Geoffrey A. C. Lakson, Knight of New York, is a problem solver who must ensure that two separate yet conjoined worlds of great and terrible magic do not mix. While running his private detective business, Lakson does his best to keep the magical and mortal worlds apart, despite the fact that he despises his duty with every fiber of his being. When NYPD Detective Matilda Moran calls Lakson to the scene of a Wall Street massacre, he notices that the goblin word for debt has been written in blood on a wall. Certain that whoever committed the brutal murders will not stop, Lakson has no choice but to fulfill his charge once more. After he pledges to hold the person accountable for such a blatant and savage disregard of the Unwritten Laws, Lakson is pulled into a web of greed, betrayal, lust, and—above all else—murder. But when all is said and done, will he find redemption and growth or will he have already sacrificed too much to change? A New York Knight is the story of a man, broken by time and circumstance, who must fulfill a duty he despises, all while keeping his inner demons at bay.
