Troy
Carnes’ thriller Dudgeons and Daggers, a story of honor, glory, assassination
and espionage, has been acquired by Jabari & Jaser!
Dudgeons
and Daggers
A
pact of honor and responsibility is taken on D-Day by William Dunavant and Alex
Powe; both are expectant fathers who know they may not survive the invasion.
Powe is captured, tortured and killed. Dunavant vows to keep his promise.
Fourteen
years later, Dunavant visits Powe’s son, Nick, for the first time. He tells the boy how his father died and reveals
their lifetime agreement. Nick is a
natural sniper and considers his ability a gift, one he is fated to use. Dunavant secretly guides Nick’s career. He
brings his daughter, Grace, to Nick’s graduation from the Special Forces
Qualification Course. Eyes lock, and
another, much more personal pact is made.
Grace
Dunavant is an intelligent, driven young woman cut of the same cloth as her
father. She becomes suspicious of her
father’s role in events and confronts him after finding a letter from Simon
Wiesenthal regarding the search for a Nazi war criminal; the very one who
killed Powe, Werner Krueger.
Fate
and fortune are cut from the same cloth; as are honor and integrity, but above
all there is loyalty…
Dudgeons and Daggers is the combination of Carnes’ life
experiences, history and one heck-of-an imagination. He worked as a roustabout
on an offshore gas platform, was a Green Beret in the US Special Forces, a
teacher of twenty-two years, a public relations manager, a basketball coach, is
a devoted husband and the father of two rowdy boys; all of which makes this
novel ever so real. His
first novel, Rasputin’s
Legacy, published by Black Rose Writing.
