BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Nov. 7, 2002 (PRIMEZONE) -- Beauty can be intoxicating and fatal. TJ Dunn's new espionage thriller, "In The Shadow of Death" (now available through 1stBooks Library), describes a villain unlike any other, one who uses her overpowering sexuality and sensuality to full advantage. In an atmosphere of intrigue and mayhem, Dunn's male protagonist must learn to play the rules of a deadly game and literally go through hell to stop a deadly chemical weapon intended to destroy America.
Using exotic settings, specifically Japan and South Korea, as the backdrop for this spine-tingling and zestful story, Dunn weaves a gripping plot around the life of an utterly attractive female spy whose scarred background pushed her to engage in sinister games. She uses the many talents at her disposal, including ones that are influenced by her Oriental heritage. When she is sent to America to seal the fate of Michael Dayne's unsuspecting family who are set to die in a North Korean hit squad, exciting twists and turns take place. Eventually, Michael must fight for his life and the honor of the woman he loves and put an end to the horrors that could wipe out America.
Dunn effectively uses his vast knowledge of Japan (which served as his home for 20 years) and other breathtaking landscapes in Asia to spice up confrontation scenes. His impressive career in the U.S. Air Force provides the reader with believable accounts of terrorism and military intelligence gathering. "In the Shadow of Death" is a brilliant, modern take on the doomsday scenario and is certain to grip readers everywhere.
Educated in western Pennsylvania, Dunn began writing poems and short stories at a tender age of 12. He has traveled extensively throughout Asia and while in Japan, he published several articles in Japanese magazines. Now retired, Dunn spends most of his time writing books.
