A classic song by Chicago asked, "Does anybody really know what time it is?" Time has almost run out for David Standell and Valerie Lott, two strangers in career crisis, asking themselves "does anybody really care?" What's at stake is more than just their happiness, though. Set in volatile Dubai, and in the recently tragic Tucson which inspired Jonathan Lowe's award-winning suspense novel "Postmarked for Death," here is the story of an optics engineer and a TV producer who don't know each other yet, or themselves. Told in two parts, it moves from David's confronting the greedy televangelist who bankrupted his recently deceased mother---even as drone military aircraft begin crashing into the skyscrapers of the city to which Ted Cashman has escaped---to another desert where Val has just witnessed her boyfriend with another woman. . . and also a girl about to be murdered. Yet fate has a twist, and quantum physics an uncertainty principle leading to a profound entanglement. Inspired by "The Power of Now," this unique novel is both literate and gripping, with an ending that can never be forgotten.
Review
This story has everything. The compelling, deeply conflicted characters, fast action, and a plot unlike any other make a very entertaining story. --MyShelf.com
From the Author
In this novel I wanted to do something completely different, something which hasn't been seen before. In my opinion there are too many formula vampire and serial killer books out there, and few novels which tell a significant story (beyond solving an otherwise meaningless mystery) while entertaining. THE MIRACULOUS PLOT OF LEITER & LOTT is about two lost people who find each other, and themselves, by seeing past the delusions of money, fame, and pop culture to the truth that we terrorize ourselves when we believe that feeding our egos will make us happy. The story plays out against a backdrop of high rise condo towers under attack by drone aircraft, and then a desert where a deeply conflicted journalist is forced to choose between her head and her heart.
