Connor Race: The Tontine Plot follows the perilous exploits of American Security Agency (ASA) covert operative, Connor Race, and a cast of characters as they encounter deadly adversaries bent on the destruction of Shade Cassedy, the alluring, spoiled, twenty-four-year-old who has no clue of her planned demise. As Race moves across the shadowy landscapes of intrigue, betrayal, potential romance and clandestine operations, he knows one thing for certain, a self-evident truth that requires no proof-the more you win, the closer you come to losing.Are Middle East extremists responsible for the murderous attempts on the young lady's life because of her father's agency duties or is there a brutal home-grown scheme of greed to exterminate her? Ordinarily, this type of assignment is not part of the ASA's raison d'être, but there are mitigating circumstances as to why she has come under the guardianship of the agency. What initially is assumed to be a "babysitting" assignment is anything but.Experience the initial fast-paced violent pursuit on Bolivia's high-altitude Death Road, and the eventual deadly conspiracy in the southern mountain vistas of New Mexico to murder Ms. Cassedy, who unwittingly possesses a long-buried family secret dating back to the Revolutionary War. The cryptic word, Tontine, is introduced to the narrative and has been obscurely identified with her family. Is she a direct descendant to one of the Founders or is she related to a financial strategy from the same period?The mysterious director of the ASA, Mr. Marco, periodically hints he knows why she must live and have children. Is there some definite esoteric destiny she is meant to fulfill?The exciting finale occurs at the Gran Quivira 1650 Spanish ruins in isolated southern New Mexico. This work is not formulaic and is not meant to follow familiar pattern dynamics.
