THE DISILLUSIONED
By
D.J. Williams
BLURB:
A mother’s suicide threatens to destroy a
family legacy. Her sons, Sam and Daniel, are forced to leave their comfortable
worlds behind and search for a woman they believe can unlock the secrets that
have remained hidden. They are propelled into separate journeys from Los
Angeles to the heart of the Zambezi where they are forced to confront a man
known as Die Duiwel, the Devil. On their adventures they will find themselves
in a place where death is one breath away, where thousands of children are
disappearing into the darkness, and where the woman they are searching for is
on the hunt for revenge. When they stand face-to-face with the forgotten slaves
of Africa they will fight to redeem what has been lost.
Excerpt:
Drops
of rain turned into a torrential downpour as Danny and Sam stood drenched at
the edge of a deep hole and a fresh mound of dirt. The casket had already been
lowered into the ground, evident by the arm of a crane hovering overhead. A
groundskeeper kept his distance a few yards away, careful to allow the boys their
final goodbye.
A
week ago they were living their own life, far removed from the darkness that
had stolen their mother. One shouldered the guilt of a tarnished legacy while
the other grew increasingly restless to return to his isolated world.
Danny
was still reeling from his face to face with Bowman. How were they going to pay
back the money? Where was the money? Why was it stolen in the first place?
Should they even do anything, since neither was legally liable? He needed
answers.
A
wave of anger flushed over Danny as he thought of all his family had lost.
Thousands of sermons preached by a man who now seemed as addicted to the
almighty dollar as the people who passed the offering plate. He knew his father
kept secrets, but nothing had prepared him for the news Bowman planted on him.

Thanks for hosting!
Shannon, I'd have to say that my biggest influences would probably be John Grisham, Michael Connelly, James Patterson, and Brad Meltzer. However, I really enjoyed reading the Harry Potter and Lord of The Rings series.
How sad to lose you mother this way. I would be devastated.
Losing their mother was only the beginning. As with many families the secrets that lie just beneath the surface are the ones that change everything.
How very sad.
