Fool Me Twice : A Novel of Betrayal, Denial and Renewal

by David O'Neal

The fourth novel of the Doug Carlson series is a novel of betrayal, denial and renewal. Readers are asked, "Will Doug kill again?" Doug Carlson learns that something has gone terribly wrong after one of his prior missions. Although relinquishing his role as an assassin, he must now choose between letting an innocent person die or pick up his .45 again and make things right. This thriller finds Doug hunting someone who has committed unspeakable crimes. Their final clash becomes a race against time, challenging Doug's inherrent respect for life, in order to save the life of someone he has learned to both love and hate. Also in this thriller, O'Neal explores the shadowy issue of America's missing children. He discovered that from 1982 to 1993 more than 50,000 kids were kidnapped and never found. Since then, another 25,000 have been added to the list. This novel details the fictional search to find one of those stolen children.
