by Brian F. Dillmore

A fast-paced thriller and study of the human psyche.

What would you do if you were forced to make a choice between erasing one of the darkest hours in American history, or erasing your own personal demons? That's exactly the choice facing Mike McAllister, as he is sent back in time to hunt a killer and comes face-to-face with the haunting memory of a loss that forever changed his life.

Shadows of the Present, written over two years ago, contains descriptions of terrorist activities, including the simultaneous downing of several planes bound for New York and the destruction of a fictional building in New York. I'd like to express to my readers my extreme sorrow regarding the events of September 11th, and my heartfelt desire that my work should in no way minimize the tremendous loss of life and the devastation visited upon the citizens of this country.
