Urban Action Thriller

Fortune hunter Billy Newman is not a man of great strength or physical courage. Like a young Johnny Depp, he gets by on his wit, wiles and good looks. And he’s had quite a good run—striking gold in the Philippines and buying his very own island in the South Seas. . . . But there’s trouble in paradise, and Billy’s in the thick of it. The island’s crops are failing. The island’s people are dying. And the island’s owner—Billy—is taking the heat. Why? Because he’s angered the 75-foot-tall big-boss god of the island.

Saxon & Associates' vacation in the hills of West Virginia is interrrupted by first a disappearance and then a series of strange deaths heralded by a bizarre, keening sound that haunts the lonely night. The resolution of the case only brings more disturbing news, as they discover an old enemy has unexpectedly returned from the dead.

The Subway Stairs was written to be a thought provoking story about personal safety on the fringes of life. It's meant to bring to light the problems encountered when innocent law abiding citizens are put in extreme life threatening situations with no immediate protection from a government entity (the police). Being a country governed by laws we have very few rights left for self defense. In many cases our right to self defense is governed by a state that has little or no regard for your personal safety.
