About The Coronavirus Affair A Crime Thriller
Product Description A Crime Thriller with all of the Fixins When a world-renowned pathologist is found brutally murdered and left for dead in an airport parking lot, the Philadelphia PD calls in its best problem solver, Donna Jones, a brilliant and beautiful medical detective. What she uncovers sends shock waves through the corridors of power, and for a good reason, they're the ones dropping like flies. The city is being held hostage not by guns or bombs, but by a novel coronavirus so ingeniously complex that it has everyone wearing face masks as if in communist China. Caught in an accelerating tempest of fear and lies, Donna Jones uncovers that someone is intentionally infecting a particular group of people, and begins working to find the killer. Betrayed on all sides, she finds herself fighting not only for her city but for her life, and in the end, for the life of the man she loves. About the Author The Fiction Work: "My previous novels explored how people were tied together by crime," Brooks says. "But with A Butler Christmas, I sought to connect people by the mystery of falling in love with new friends and estranged family. I'm excited and eager and anxious--like going on my sophomore dance. To join the Prodigy Gold family is a great honor and thrills me to my wing tips. "The Non-Fiction Work: "I am very excited to give back to the writing and publishing communities with my short publishing tips. Everyone publishes tomes on the topic and many people get discouraged with respect to employing effective and traditional publishing tactics because of the vast amount of material out there. I've decided to do small essays that people can act on and have a clear understanding of it because I explain in detail with examples."
