LAKE WORTH, Fla., May 19, 2010 — Suspense, drama and action collide against an idyllic Florida backdrop in "One Man's Revenge" (published by iUniverse), the new thriller from Mimi Paris that takes readers from the Sunshine State to the Middle East as a group of terrorists plan their attack in a blind quest for money.
Yasin Adeeb, ostensibly a successful international businessman and investor, is secretly the brilliant, handsome leader of a group of deadly terrorists whose only motivation is money. A charming mercenary, Yasin is a bomb specialist who has carefully accumulated great wealth throughout his 60-plus years. A master of deadly schemes, it is widely rumored that he has never once failed a mission.
"One Man's Revenge" focuses on Yasin's relationship with Peter Senewski, a former Navy Seal who owes Yasin a big favor. Years after their first meeting, Yasin decides it's time to find Peter – now an FBI agent – and cash in his favor. Peter knows Yasin well enough not to deny him.
As the terrorists organized by Yasin gather in southeastern Florida, their plans begin to come together. They train for a scheme to blow up key bridges along the International Waterway from Jacksonville to Miami. Follow with bated breath as Yasin decides when to strike and what bridges to target. Not everyone is who they claim to be, sex is used for exploitation and greed is king. Somewhere, true love must exist. There must be a way to stop these calculating criminals – or is everyone seduced by the allure of money? Find out in the exciting pages of "One Man's Revenge."
Paris understands that, while her book is fictional, it portrays a very real threat that will resonate with readers. She writes:
It's about TODAY – THIS HOUR – THIS MINUTE – THIS SECOND! All of us here in the USA, and the rest of the world as well, are concerned about what terrorists have done and could do to our country – to our people – to ourselves and our families. This is a novel and therefore not based on fact per se. It does, however, introduce a different type of terrorist: non-religious mercenaries with a love of money and its theme could come true.
