Kidnapped and transported to an unknown destination, Kate is used as a powerful man's secret toy. When he tires of her, she is drugged and taken back to her home. Neither the police nor her only family, her brother, Bryn, believed she was kidnapped and brought back to her flat. It just didn't make sense as Bryn had received photographs of her and her new husband honeymooning in Europe. Confused but determined to find her kidnappers and bring them to justice, she hires a private detective, Red, but he comes with baggage of his own, which he has to work through before he can help her. Kate advertises and finds another victim, Fiona, who was turned into a drug addict by the Boss, as he's known. Both girls had been tattooed with a weeping spider on the base of their spine. When an international assassin comes after them, Red sends them to a place of safety, where Kate must learn to defend herself. To make matters worse for Kate, she discovers Bryn is gay and a male prostitute to the rich, employed by her ex-fiancé, who organizes these orgies. Tormented by the spider that runs up and down her back, Kate must find her inner strength and, together with Fiona and Red, go down a terrifying path of drugs, sex, and murder, before coming out in a peaceful white tent.

However, he does reach for a very sentimental end as he does in his other novels. In this book, Paul C. Markland, gives the reader inspiration to consider their own life, as well as their actions and connections to others. An exercise, everyone should consider doing, every so often. - Raymond Shook, M.A.Originally, "The Reason" was based on a true story. As a child, I always questioned "the reason" for my existence. I wanted to know. I needed to know. This query intensified as I grew older. Regardless of my accomplishments, I still pondered my purpose in life: that is, my reason for living. While writing this work, certain aspects of my childhood were brought to light. Aspects I hid for most of my life. Even my siblings had no idea.Based on the recommendation of my wife, I presented "The Reason" as a fictional story rather than a factual one. In the process, I wrote about the faith that I once preached. In the end, there was resolution. So I thought. With the advancements in technology also comes new insights. In the process of publishing this book, DNA has opened pandora's box. What I once thought was truth, is anything but the truth. Again, I am considering "The Reason"

EVENT HORIZON tells the story of the decline of IBM as the dominant force in the computer industry and how my business career was sucked down with it. IBM's decline was caused by two factors: (1) its obsolete technology based on an "all roads lead to Rome" centralized processing, and (2) the changing computer industry culture where technicians rather than salesmen ruled the roost. I saw this as an opportunity to create a unique kind of consulting practice based on technical specialists who could more quickly replace the mainframe legacy systems than generalist consultants. These insights deeply frightened industry management and eventually led to my being driven out of the industry.
