The world is in a severe decline. Political leaders offer excuses for joblessness, pervasive poverty, and collapsing private enterprise. Ideologues spew diatribes rather than solutions. The global political landscape fosters a resurgence of despotism. All this courtesy of Magus Crayle's brilliant strategy, a Machiavelli-style blueprint for world domination developed prior to his horrific car crash.

Amnesiac Crayle has survived assassination attempts, risked experimental memory restoration, and circled the globe in search of his own past. But an unfulfilled contract on Crayle's life remains in force, and it shatters the tranquility of his time with Hekka Poppi, the lover who saved his life. Violence drives Crayle, Hekka, and their compatriots back into the center of the action. Will they survive the machinations of a scheming CIA mole, the ultra-secret Elder, and a multi-faceted global plot?

Even with Chinese mogul Chin Yao-wu in abeyance and French aristocrat Sylvain Lalumière imprisoned, Crayle must recover additional memories as he once again travels the globe. His adversaries are rich, powerful, and well-positioned, but his destiny pits him against a more perfect enemy. He must conquer his former self. He must conquer Magus Crayle.

In THE BLACKSTONE PERFECTION, Book 2 of Dennis Bowen's International Thriller Series, Magus Crayle seeks truths about himself and his past. He discovers a core truth - he is the hero, the killer, the lover, and the spy. He is, at once, all of these things—and he is much, much more.
