The Highest Value

The Highest Value … a Novel.

A superb female surgeon who's convinced all life is precious, without exception. Her lover, a brilliant inventor, who killed without remorse as a Navy SEAL. A retired professor, enjoying her quiet life in the Colorado mountains. A rough and tumble rancher who packs heat and knows how to use it. A manipulator, who’ll do anything to make a fortune with a fraudulent development scheme. A brutal psychopath on a vicious killing spree. A dedicated but bumbling sheriff’s deputy. A prosperous attorney with a dark secret.

Who ends up killing whom, and where … and for what?

The dramatic action in this story shifts and twists: from a diner in Moab, Utah, to a hospital called Murder Central; from a beat-up travel trailer, to a mysteriously empty mansion; from an engineering shop in St. Louis, to a dank barroom in Gunnison; from a tranquil home at the base of a wildflower meadow, to a dark valley, high in the Colorado Rockies.

See how the intriguing cast of characters comes together in this violently suspenseful adventure. When good confronts evil, when love confronts hate, when pacifism confronts viciousness … will justice be served or will malevolence win out?
