Memories Erased - Treachery Two years ago, Ewyn Kelley Calderone met Devin Piers Nilsson, and Ewyn found himself on a rollercoaster ride of fear, discovery, happiness, jeopardy, and heartache. The up-and-down emotions ebb and flow through Ewyn’s life while he struggles to cope with the complex transitions restructuring his world. From victim to survivor, from the baby of the family to a respected adult, and the most important conversion of all -- he establishes a stable loving relationship with Devin. Ewyn couldn’t be happier. Conversely, a late-night phone call sends Ewyn’s world back on a collision course with turmoil and danger. When his nieces Nicole and Carolyn Calderone are in a serious car wreck, the prognosis isn’t good. Ewyn arrives at the accident site just as an ambulance pulls away and a crime scene investigator directs him to St. Bernadine’s Hospital, telling him to hurry. His nieces are critical and the baby’s survival is iffy. Dazed and confused, Ewyn thinks he misunderstood the explanations. One niece…the original call said two…and whose baby! Fighting down his panic, Ewyn reaches the hospital and discovers Carolyn is dead. Nicole is terminal, only being kept alive in an attempt to save her baby. With Devin out on assignment and Ewyn’s brother in exile, what if the baby survives. Knowing absolutely nothing about babies, and realizing he will have to cope on his own, Ewyn is terrified. However, when the baby survives, for Ewyn, it’s love at first sight and he vows to step up to the plate, no matter what it takes. He names the baby girl, Kiera Alana Calderone. Several days after his nieces’ funeral, Ewyn learns Nicole and Carolyn were the passengers in their car, and a gun found in the vehicle indicates they were not there by their own volition. Carolyn died of a gunshot wound. When Devin returns, Ewyn tells him about the circumstances surrounding the young women’s deaths, and Devin initiates his own investigation. His primary goal is to locate the baby’s father. Both Devin and Ewyn suspect the father is the murderer. Two years later, their nieces’ case has gone cold. Kiera is now a toddler and, although her slightly kinky hair is at odds with her facial features and startling steel-gray eyes, her African-American heritage is obvious. So why does Kiera remind Devin of someone that he knows, who isn’t Black? While struggling to put a name to a face, Devin has a meeting with one of the top dogs of the company and he realizes why Kiera looks familiar. All hell breaks loose, pitting two powerful families against each other, until an attempt to kidnap Kiera unites them with a single deadly purpose.© M. E. Reid |

Ruthless Integrity In an isolated location outside a small desert town, the government is conducting classified, scientific experiments using the combined DNA of notorious serial killers and an unidentified predator DNA. Code name…Ruthless. After years of botched, disastrous attempts to develop an ideal specimen, their dedicated endeavors finally pay off. From among the surviving infants, one baby is a beautiful, perfectly-formed replica of what’s needed to develop their scheme. So what happens when this project goes awry and their prized experiment, a genetically altered 10-year-old escapes before they have the ability to control it? The government tries to correct their error by creating another child capable of tracking and destroying the first. Code name…Redemption. Over the years, without the necessary control substances needed at each stage of development, Ruthless utilizes the characteristics of both DNA donors to survive. Stalking and brutalizing with the cunning of a proficient serial criminal, it kills with the vicious, hungry instincts of a predator in the wild. A rash of brutal murders and disappearances terrorize the people in the communities surrounding the outpost, then stop. The crimes go unsolved. Twenty years later, in one of the communities not far from the government lab, serial killers, rapists, and pedophiles tried for their crimes and escape justice on technicalities begin to disappear. When their dead bodies resurface, hideously mutilated, suspicion falls on a few gung ho law enforcement officers from the community’s Violent Crimes Unit. Meanwhile, the commanding officer of the outpost, recognizes the ramifications of the mutilated bodies. He assigns his own federal investigator to look into the matter, and neutralize the problem. However, this particular agent, Jordan Perry, has a private agenda, and his current assignment fits right in with his personal campaign, leaving him in a quandary. Knowing the capabilities of both specimens… Who is the real perpetrator of these crimes, and which one will he have to destroy? Ruthless, Redemption... Or...maybe both. |
