"Nameless" by Joe Conlan

HOW WOULD YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE IF YOU HAD NO NAME AND THERE WAS NO RECORD OF YOUR EXISTENCE?

Chilling and taut, NAMELESS, introduces a fresh and exciting twist on the deadly game of cat and mouse.  By virtue of one impulsive and deeply human, but all too grave mistake, a good and decent man finds himself pitted against the embodiment of evil and threatened with losing everything and everyone he loves and values; including the pristine reputation he has endeavored all his adult life to establish.
FBI Special Agent in Charge Daniel Falcone unwittingly steps onto course for a head-on collision with a frighteningly brilliant psychotic serial killer, whose harrowing childhood abuse and neglect left him devoid of humanity and salivating for revenge. Framed for a brutal murder on a commercial cruise ship, and fighting for the right to raise his sons and clear his name, Falcone races against the clock and struggles to keep his eyes on the prize, even while his profound guilt and self-loathing threaten to destroy him faster than his maniacal adversary.
The beginning of Daniel’s journey had its roots in a childhood accident that led to his teenage brother’s tragic death.  Crushed by an overwhelming sense of remorse arising from his perceived contribution to the loss, Daniel ultimately devotes his life to upholding the law.  As a young, rookie FBI agent, he is quickly dubbed the Bureau’s golden boy.  On a meteoric rise to the top, he is tapped as the Special Agent in Charge when his mentor steps down.  His life and career seemed full of promise until he is framed for the brutal murder he doesn’t even remember, yet is certain he didn’t commit.
A perfect, page-turning summer read, NAMELESS takes you on an action packed journey as it explores:

  • Good vs. evil – We all want to believe good will triumph over evil, but life lessons are learned in how we handle the curve balls thrown our way.
  • Life changing events – Is the way we react to pain and suffering really all about choice?
  • Fate – Is our life course plotted for us or do we have free will to decide our own destiny?

“When I sat down to write NAMELESS,” says Conlan, “I wanted to explore why two people, who each experience horrific childhood experiences, can be so diametrically opposed. Why does one person choose good over evil? Is it a choice or is a greater force at work?”
