The Incandescent Woman

A Speculative Thriller

By: S.R. Buckel

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

'A genre-bending mix: THE DA VINCI CODE meets F. Paul Wilson's REPAIRMAN JACK series.'

When damaged psychologist Lexi Montaigne inherits her Gramps’ ‘trove’, she finds herself thrust into an ancient conspiracy.

At first, she thinks grief alone is making her see strange men in fedoras, tailing her. But then her detective boyfriend starts acting suspicious, and her horny, genius BFF Linnux, is attacked.

Petrified, Lexi hits the road. Chased by God knows who, and shackled to a partially bionic agent she trusts as far as she can spit, Lexi soon learns that Dorl—the ‘man’ her Gramps hunted for decades—is connected to some of the worst events of the last century. In a world where her insane grandfather is sanest of all, learning to trust her heart to another is not easy. But it is a vital step towards her healing, and one she strives to take amidst mayhem and paranoia.

Almost desperately, she embraces the hunt, using skills in firearms and kinesics learned at her Gramps’ feet. She’ll need all these skills and tenacity, for even while racing west across America, ever more mystified, a star called Wormwood (somehow connected to Dorl), falls.
