Barefoot with Scorpions

Categories:

Stylish, psychologically complex and brutal from the outset, ‘Barefoot with Scorpions’ is a gripping journey into the dark heart of American politics and the seedy underbelly of special interest lobbying. Deep within the halls of power in Washington DC and Austin, Texas, shadowy elites maneuver to protect and preserve the carbon fuel economy… and will stop at nothing to keep a firm grip on the reins of power. But their dark scheme has failed to consider a critical threat to their plan: The determination of a lone warrior. Leg Xazilol is one such individual. A former United States Marines Raider. A man grieving the loss of the woman he loved and haunted by a past plagued by violent tragedy… a man who takes no prisoners. From the fashionable streets of the nation’s capital to the frontier towns of the Texas panhandle… from the arid badlands of New Mexico to the sultry bayous of Louisiana… an epic battle begins.

About the Author

‘Barefoot with Scorpions’ is the debut novel from someone who started out in life as a Windrush generation orphan. After spending a good portion of his adult life raising a family in Cornwall – and following numerous career incarnations – he began writing in earnest while working as a crisis management consultant throughout Europe. He now lives with his partner and their collection of rambunctious animals, on the Essex-Suffolk border in East Anglia.
