Novel Description
The novel "Fallen Lotus Petals" is author Jordon Papanier's offering to
every reader searching for that gritty, sometimes funny, yet always
compelling novel where the bad guys are beyond vile and the good guys
struggle to come out ahead. In this page-turner, readers are immediately
pulled into a story of deceit, of a frenzied struggle to save lives, and
one man's quest to make peace with his past. FBI agent Tom Larson is
investigating a lost container at the port of Los Angeles. Little does he
realize that this case will evolve into one of the most traumatic of his
career: the exploitation of underage Asian girls, victims of human
trafficking in the seedy world of sex slaves. Our protagonist knows too
well the difficulties before him, having once faced the terrible challenge
of apprehending the serial killer of call girls and dealing with his own
sister's domestic violence. Could he do justice to this case today, years
later? In prose both poetic and hard-hitting, readers are thrust into the
action, moving at mach speed through our protagonist's attempts to save
these children from almost certain tragedy, his challenge to find the
source of a deadly designer drug, and yet another case in which he must
expose the culprits advancing a new technology that can produce an
undetectable plastic gun. And through this action and danger, what is
happening with his love life? With a creative stroke, the author
illustrates time and place, and characters of sufficient complexity to
keep the reader guessing. Papanier pushes this level of tension until the
final page. A thoroughly captivating novel that weaves poetic phrasing,
humor, and danger into the life of one very complex FBI agent, creating a
plot as disturbing as it is gripping.
Novel Back Cover Text;
Fallen Lotus Petals is Jordon Papanier's gift to lovers of fast-paced
thrillers with compelling characters and goals that must be attained... or
else. Faced with three very different, yet equally challenging, cases-the
tragedy of sexually exploited young Asian girls; a designer drug gone
terribly wrong; a technological advance that could bring law enforcement
to its knees. The author promises, and delivers, a gritty, page-turner of
a story. Does our protagonist have what it takes to decimate this
international ring? Will he overcome his own demons and bring the culprits
to justice? And his love interest, how does she fit into this web of
action and danger? Page after page, we become more deeply engaged in our
hero's private life and his dark, burdensome past, until we reach the
explosive finale. Now at Amazon.com
