Résumé :

Steve Hillard grew up in Bossier City, Louisiana and Grand Junction, Colorado. He graduated from Colorado State University and later earned a degree in philosophy at Columbia University and a Juris Doctorate from the University of Colorado. Before settling into his current career as a private equity entrepreneur, Hillard was a teacher at Rikers Island Prison, a welder, a carpenter, and a practicing lawyer. He is the founder and head of Council Tree Communications, a private equity fund involved in the entertainment and telecom industries. He resides with his wife, Sharmaine, in Grand Junction, Colorado.

Publication of his first book in 2011, Mirkwood: A Novel About JRR Tolkien, started in controversy. The Tolkien Estate sought to ban the book, to which the author responded with a lawsuit in federal court. The dispute received international attention, with articles in the London Guardian, The Hollywood Reporter, and The Christian Science Monitor. The case quickly settled and the book went on to become an Amazon Fantasy Best Seller, recipient of a national IPPY Award, and was published world-wide in Spanish by an imprint of Planeta. An epic spin-out of the book's main fantasy character, Ara, is the subject of an eight-volume series co-authored with Joel Eisenberg. The first volume, Creation: The Chronicles of Ara, was released by Topos books of Incorgnito Publishing in 2015. A companion series, The Lost Chronicles of Ara, is written by the same duo and is slated for release starting in 2015. These series are now under development as a TV series by The Ovation Network. Mr. Hillard's other writing projects include a forthcoming thriller about JFK.

Sommaire:
A prot?g? of Edward Snowden flees the NSA to expose a deadly JFK conspiracy.

After learning that her project (KNOLL) is designed to detect and destroy anyone with new facts about the JFK assassination, a young NSA analyst flees. Her target is a small-town attorney, son of a murdered cop, who has just discovered his family's ties to Mafia Kingpin Carlos Marcello and the events in Dallas.

All paths lead to a small Louisiana town that still hides its secrets, and converge on the doorstep of Marcello's still-active savant of assassins. He is unstoppable. His creed: Omerta Is Forever. Will the attorney and the analyst survive long enough to expose the truth?
