Fake Query 2

The Amateur, one of the world's top three most wanted hit-men, begins taunting his investigators with a series of grisly, explicit videotapes.


Dear EE

"The Amateur's Guide to Killer Sex" is a 100,000 word novel of political and social satire with a touch of murder set on a distant planet where cloning and cybertech maintain an oligarchy of Founding Families.

When doctors, lawyers and bankers in the walled city of New Maradona start turning up missing and digital recordings of their gruesome executions are sent to the Cold Case Squad, Inspector Danny Winters recognizes the Modus Operandi as that of "The Amateur," a criminal mastermind who died seventy-five years before. Winters' boss refuses to accept his theories involving bootlegged cloning technology until two of the dead men are found living new lives in the closed city of Old Brunswick. Winters' investigates the oligarchies of the Founding Families disturbing old friends and new lovers.

Physically a genetically-enhanced, over-sexed, hunky male clone in his twenties, Danny Winters has to cope with harder things than murder. He began life as the daughter of the first Founding Family and his return as elder son creates social chaos. Additionally, he must cope with the resentful colleagues in the investigative unit. Complicating his search are the memories of the torture and death of his first body at the hands of The Amateur years before.

Winters' discovery of the villain behind the murderous return of The Amateur and his impending fatherhood, nearly topples the wealth and knowledge of the Founding Families.

I am an unpublished writer. Chapters are available for you to read. Thank you for your time and effort.

A friend said this sounded like a clone of the DaVinci Code.

Never read the DaVinci Code (I know, I know). But I like this. I think it could be a book. A strange book, but from what I hear about Dan Brown, it can't be any stranger than the DaVinci Code.

Gosh - this has mileage.

Never read the Da Vinci Code - but my clone has, and said it was so so.

This, however, is just so.

This actually sounds workable as a story, Dave, even if it is a little rough.

I hated Da Vinci Code and think this sounds much more interesting.

Hey, Dave, good plot going on here!

It's late Sunday night and I just got home. I wanted to let y'all off the hook. I just said that opening statement about the DaVinci Code to be controversial.

Nice job, Dave. It shows a vivid imagination. It is imagination, isn't it??????

Ooooh! I wish I'd thought this up.

A number of years back, one week at work, a chemist left on Friday as a man and returned the next Monday as a woman. A year later the doctors did the sexual reassignment surgery.

That's why I thought of that particular plot line.
