On the Heels of Evil

Review"Great plot, dynamite characters, and impressive writing keeps the pages turning in On the Heels of Evil. One page after another, the story is intense and kept this reader on the edge of the seat. D.E. Daum knows how to build up intrigue and excitement in an in-depth story with customs and traditions that practically take the breath away." -Linda L, Fallen Angel Reviews, 5/5 ANGELS! Product DescriptionDoes Kelly Rogers have a relationship with The Almighty? Perhaps. One could interpret the fact that he lives as corroboration of a Godly connection. On the other hand, his survival may be an aberration—an uncanny twist of fate, that has propelled him in the position to be the greatest single fighter of world terrorism. That is the question that author, D.E. Daum, makes his readers wonder, repeatedly, while reading this fast-paced action thriller. Our protagonist, covert agent, Kelly Rogers, begins to believe it and why shouldn’t he? He was dead, practically cut in half by an assassin’s bomb, but awoke in the hospital as Saleem Rhamsy. Yes, through some inexplicable reason, he now occupies the body of Rhamsy—his double-crossing Arab interpreter. Kelly, who is by all appearances Saleem Rhamsy, is now in the pre-eminent position to monitor the upcoming plans for terrorist events planned by the most active world wide terrorist organizations and as a bonus inherits Rhamsy’s former beauty queen wife, Mariam.Working for a secret unit of the CIA, Kelly and his superior, the indomitable Jane DeJong and later his wife, go on to fight not only radical Muslim terrorists, but a troublesome group of Neo-Nazis, who have sponsored many of the terrorist activities, including a nuclear bomb planted in a major American city.
