The arcane world of conspiracy is unraveled as a series of mysteries, steeped in Cold War paranoia, which connect a secret level of government and corrupt small town officials to a global-impacting, scientific discovery. This is W.P. Blake's newest novel, S.H.E.L.L. In March of 1987, a newscast ladled the airways with an infamous story originating from a Disinformation Network depicting the Central Intelligence Agency as culprits in the creation of the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. A Congressional Inquiry debunked the story, but how far was it from the truth? In this thrill-packed work that combines edgy suspense, classic horror, and clandestine danger, you'll spiral through seedy encounters with an ensemble of characters wrapped in the conspiracy. Their motives are shadowed in controversy and their agenda is changed at the turn of every page.

At the center of the spin is a series of gruesome murders and cryptic clues that refuse to paint a clear picture of guilt, but whose perpetrator has monstrous implications. The common thread at every level is the chase for a fabled toxin whose whereabouts and origin are equally shrouded with mystique. Beware! Betrayal and dread wait at every corner in the guise of a S.H.E.L.L.
