Settling in for a routine day at the office in 1989, high school memories are the furthest thing from David Miller's mind. But when an unexpected phone call interrupts the personal injury lawyer's midafternoon slump, he is surprised to hear from Michael Eisenberg-a former debate partner who went on to become the US Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois.
But Michael isn't just calling to chat. He's working with the FBI on a high-stakes case: investigating the disappearance of a revolutionary government scientist-one whose bio-evolutionary research could turn Darwinism on its ear, and pose a threat to national security.
The main suspect? Cult leader Philip Montgomery, who happens to have a strong connection to David's past.
If David hopes to help crack the case, the attorney has to delve into a sea of old memories, revisiting people and places left behind long ago. One such person is former best friend Benny Friedman, who has clearly gone off the deep end. Obsessed with the JFK assassination, he insists he has evidence that Oswald wasn't acting alone.
But as David's old memories continue to surface, a startling deception comes to light-uncovering the truth in a most unexpected way. ...more Views: 399

Self-Publishing Reviews: 4 stars "The book sets up a believable and in many ways terrifying world, one which takes the zombie genre in a direction that can actually be called unique..." IndieReader Approved: 4 stars "...the tension steadily builds as the narrative progresses, exploding at certain moments with lively, exciting action scenes and gritty images..." Reader Reviews: "I didn't mean to read this all in one day, but I had to stay up to finish it. Normally, I'm able to put even exciting books down and go to sleep, but this one kept me awake and wanting more." "Every bit as good as the Walking Dead series." "1984 mixed with The Stand, but much quicker paced." "None of that macho 'I just happened to have a basement full of guns' bull. The story is believable and the characters are ordinary people. I've read a lot of zombie books, and this is one of the most disturbing I've read - because it seems so plausible." "Keith Soares turns the world upside down in this page turner, giving readers a all-too-plausible look at what can happen. Tight dialogue and a fast-paced plot make Oasis of Filth one to be remembered." Views: 398
