What happens when your nightmare has a name and a smiling face and begins to hunt you like prey…even when you are awake?

When three top television executives are murdered in a relatively short period of time from the bites of three different poisonous snakes, the police send in their top detective to solve this perplexing mystery. All she can come up with is that each victim received the bite from only one fang, and none of the snakes was indigenous to the region where the victims were found. Added to that is the fact that the killer’s fingerprint has no ridges and it’s easy to see why the authorities are quickly stymied.

Behind all of these murders lies a sinister plan engineered by Charlie Sanford, a twenty-five year old wonder boy who has America eating out of the palm of his hand. With his penetrating eyes and charismatic smile, he seduces the country into believing that he holds the key to solving all of its problems. Already a fixture on television, radio, and the internet, he manages to exploit the masses who believe so fervently in him that they press Congress to adopt an Amendment to the Constitution so that a twenty-five year old can run for the Presidency. While Charlie’s stock with the people continues to soar, the detective expands her probe into the ever-growing number of deaths, all caused by different venomous snakes. What she eventually discovers shocks both her and the medical examiner with whom she has been working, and it puts her into direct conflict with Charlie and his ultimate goal.

A taut, riveting mystery thriller, The Sign of the Serpent will keep the readers on the edges of their seats as they uncover the clues along with the detective and begin to wonder if anything can stop Charlie, who has meteorically risen to the untouchable category among the people. There is suspense and heart-pounding excitement on every page leading up to a confrontation that never fails to deliver a gut-wrenching conclusion.
