Parabellum

About this book

In 1969, an accused old man flees through the dark woods outside the village of Browning and reaches a locked windmill, leaving behind a small notebook whose mystery will sleep for half a century. Fifty years later, psychiatrist Dr. Winter is tormented by recurring nightmares and the scars of old bullets. A phoenix pendant, a prophecy of light and darkness, and the threat of engineered disease pull him toward the buried events. Blending psychological suspense, epidemic danger, and mercenary intrigue, Parabellum asks whether peace can survive without confronting the wars concealed beneath it.
