Introduction
American people appear to be increasingly fascinated with the theme of crime and violence. Turn to any television station, listen to the media, read the newspaper-murder, dead bodies, guns, knives, explosives. Have we grown complacent about this amorality of violence, unaware of the inhuman brutality that takes place every day in every city in America? Perhaps evil has permeated our lives, saturated every aspect of our being, to the extent that we no longer recognize it, even in its rawest, most subtle form.
Obviously, this is a problem we can not ignore.
This novel is the story of a sheltered young woman who has never witnessed crime, never felt the sting of a hand or the humiliation of violation. Nor did Janice Meredith Quincy dream, in her most wild nightmares, that she would someday fall into the hands of a ruthless gang of drug smugglers. As the reader follows Janice through the awesomely shocking experiences-threats, sexual perversions-he will begin to understand the reasons behind the lawless age in which we live.
We have here, too, the juxtaposition of two extreme classes of society. The extraordinarily wealthy girl engaged to the inheritor of a multi-million dollar estate, and a gang of underground smugglers who've known no homes but the streets they slept on. This clash of lifestyle and the attitudes-sexual, political, and ethical-that accompany them, adds to the richness of Janice and Charles' unbelievable story of intrigue. Read it for yourself and see.
