Mind Kill Tapa dura - 1998

Información de la editorial

A chilling pyschological thriller with a strong undercurrent of spirituality

"La Plante tells a story skillfully, creating tension and a mounting feeling of horror as he peers into some very sick minds". -- New York Times Book Review

"Solid, gritty, prose, thrilling tension, and inevitable violence". -- Library Journal on Steroid Blues

In a shift away from martial-arts action, Richard La Plante presents a challenging idea: what if the fabled Dream-time is a real place where terror is a weapon and belief -- in God, in a higher power, in Something -- may be your only defense?

Imprisoned for a series of murders, charismatic cult leader Justin Gabriel has spent years honing his mental abilities. He can travel through dreams as easily as you or I walk down the street -- and he can alter dreams, turning then into nightmares.

His targets are those responsible for jailing him, those who will testify at his upcoming parole hearing. One by one Gabriel invades their dreams and terrifies them to death. The judge. Members of the jury. One-time followers who betrayed him when he asked them to kill. And, especially, the cop who put him away.

With a new lease on life and a second chance at love, Bill Fogarty is enjoying his retirement from the Philadelphia police force. Until the nightmares begin. Soon they invade his waking hours and, combined with a lack of sleep, drive him to the brink of true insanity.

How do you fight someone who believes God is on his side, and who you cannot touch? Fogarty and his old friend Josef Tanaka must find a new spritual path -- and fast. For the only way to fight determination is with faith.
