M-: White Noise

by Andre Jones

This book takes a deep dive into the life experiences of Police Captain Ian O' Hara. Some places, in his journey, are like the dark murky depths or quagmire of a swamp. Perhaps, those times play like the soundtrack of a horror movie or suspense thriller that he can never escape. Traumatic moments, that no one should have had to endure, now drive the consciousness and public persona of a man, whose skeletons come out of the closet and chase him all around the room. Yet, as haunted as he is, Ian, somehow does not appear to have cracked under the tremendous weight he carries daily. But appearances can be deceiving. Along the journey, we discover that the trauma is magnified, as Ian, is tasked with protecting his younger twin brother, Joe, before fate sets them on very different paths... Unsure if they'll ever cross paths again. But in the interim, Rorschach cards and introspective questions may be like lighting a fuse with an unfathomably fierce accelerant. If Hell has no fury like a woman scorned, what can you do with her offspring, who never got the chance to know her? The steely gaze of the seemingly non-affected Ian, perhaps protects a little boy, marred by life, impaled by disappointment and bludgeoned by rhetoric and doctrine no young child should ever be exposed to. Now a man, Ian, wields power and position, but as a victim of PTSD, has he survived? Or, is he driven by madness, torture and fear with a vendetta that will destroy people around him as well as cause his ultimate demise? The swirling storm of questions, pain, suffering and anxiety are the colossal, chaotic combination that can only be described as white noise.
