Overview

Some say that it was God Himself who put it all in motion when He acknowledged the male sons of Abraham: Isaac the son of his wife Sarah; and Ishmael his son by Hagar, Sarah’s maid…or did He? One must wonder what was His intention, to honor one over the other, or both equally? Whom did He intend to be The Son/s of Promise?
Frank McNeill, a young architect and grandson of a contemporary of Frank Lloyd Wright finds his family’s security as well as his honor and loyalty challenged by an evil far beyond his imagination or control; an evil orchestrated by an unlikely nemesis, Ishmael, a foreign student in Frank’s University of Texas Crowd. Both young men are burdened with the responsibility of being the sole heir to powerful and high-profile family legacies. Ishmael, the heir apparent to the Islamic tribe of Kuhmaad, is the only one who knows of Frank’s apparent murder of a prostitute during his graduation party. Frank’s panic to conceal this act forces him to supply information to Ishmael for his hired terrorist so he can infiltrate the ranks of Frank’s grandfather, Jasper McNeill’s, International Gateway to Freedom project, where he has been ordered by leader of his desert tribe, a powerful Sheikh, to perform an ‘honor killing.’ Ishmael is unaware that his terrorist has additional contracts to eliminate all the high profile international board members including the President of the United States. Frank realizes too late that he alone must avert the horror he has unleashed and unwillingly assisted.

About the Author

Bio
M. Louise Smith is a native Texan, firmly believing that her family roots were nourished in the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Born in Robstown, she has lived in Southern California, New Mexico, Houston, Austin, and had accomplished many of her art and writing projects in a small weekend beach cottage on Matagorda Bay, just north of Corpus Christi. An avid clay artist, she exhibited in shows and galleries throughout Texas and Colorado. She and her architect husband have traveled extensively before moving from Texas to Colorado where they currently reside. After spending numerous years in the corporate world with an international aviation brokerage firm, and then marketing, writing and advertising for a large insurance company, she diverted her attention to her love of writing novels and screenplays. Her Texas background is apparent in the locales and fond remembrances she often inserts. Her extensive interest in the Middle East was brought about by many associations she enjoyed while with the International Brokerage firm, most of whom were most eager to assist with her research and offer their first-hand experiences as she wrote "The Pact. She has functioned as a panelist at writers’ conferences and visited remote locations with an Authors in the Bush program in Alaska. She is currently writing Middy Brown Journal IV, and her spiritual novel, Sonlite.
