I'm Not Dead ― A Novel of Suspense

On a day that would forever hold mysteries, memories and lies, Madison Faraday sat in Bentley’s, a famous Boston restaurant, and caught a glimpse of a captivating and beautiful, but also terrified, woman across the room who took his breath away. Her name was Allison Hart. Six months after she had become his wife, he was grief-stricken when he buried her on a bleak and stormy day. She had been murdered. Unable to escape the desolation and despair of that day, he was contacted by a woman who said she had a message for him from Allison. Mystified, he met with her and was given a one-sentence note in his deceased wife’s handwriting. It said, "I’m Not Dead". Desperately searching to find answers, Faraday was thrust into a deadly encounter with Mexican drug cartels whose leaders possessed such a frightening degree of malevolence that they ranked with ISIS, Al Qaeda, and the other most vicious and violent criminals and terrorists of their time. In his frantic struggle to discover the truth, and to save his own life, he was forced to weave through a web of vicious deceptions, lies, deadly confrontations, and murder. Discovering that Allison Hart never existed, and that her life and marriage to him was a monstrous deception, Faraday found himself caught in a violent downward spiral that suspended his belief in everything he thought was true and what was false, a spiral from which he had to escape or die.
