LIABILITY: A Romantic Thriller

by Todd Crawshaw

Cori Videri dies at age eighteen, purportedly, while participating in a research project to study brain functionality and the paranormal. Following her funeral, this government-funded program is shut down. Nine years later, Cori reemerges amid a CIA covert operation, acting as the liaison, to entrap an international terrorist who plans to initiate a global pandemic by releasing a deadly pathogen. The operation goes awry. Agents are blindsided and killed, along with Cori’s co-conspirator and lover. She is left traumatized, injured from a blow to her head, and in possession of a biochemical device. Fearing retribution from the terrorist group she betrayed, she escapes in a stolen vehicle to a remote location in the Sierra Mountains, in search of a haven. With dangerous tendencies and suffering from amnesia, Cori is either a beguiling heroine or villain – an enigma even to herself. .

About the author

I'm a visual artist. By day, a graphic designer, by night and early morning, I'm a writer. For me, creative writing is a visual art, using line upon line of symbolic code to light up our neurons and transport us elsewhere. Words are like colors. They can be shaped, textured, and tinted with nuance, exposed into lightness or darkness. They heal. They cause pain. Words are complex instruments charged with poetic ambiguity. They trigger emotional collapses - a catharsis, an epiphany, a shuddering release of tension that comes in a warm torrential rush. As well, they can alight, arriving delicately, as shimmering and magnificent as a butterfly emerging from its own womb. Like atoms begetting atoms that beget molecules, when uniquely linked, words form a DNA of indelible visions.
