Failure to Melt, a quarter-finalist in the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award Contest, provides a unique perspective, illustrating why an American son of a victimized immigrant family might turn against his country.

Since 9/11, Americans have become more xenophobic and the result could drive victims of prejudice and abuse to acts of terrorism. Danni Sobieski, a woman lawyer and her private detective colleague agree to track down a group who burned a Muslim couples store and home, crippling them physically and financially. The family’s sons are convinced of a Florida town sheriff’s cover-up. They plan heinous retribution on the perpetrators and their Florida town: a biological attack that will kill 50% of the people the virus touches.
Danni, a former ex-FBI agent, finds herself tempering nagging suspicions of the family’s sons through a filter of sympathy for the parents’ plight, anger with the perpetrators and her own sense of bigotry in America. At risk to her own life, she must discover and recognize the older son is a terrorist who is coercing his younger brother to join him, and stop them both before it is too late. Following are comments from the expert reviewers in the ABNA Contest:
“…I think this could definitely be a best seller. It is reminiscent of several known thriller/suspense writers… Connelly and others.”
ABNA Expert Reviewer 1

“…I could see this as being a series. Danni certainly brings to mind a heroine that we could see in one of any different situations, investigating different cases, and just wanting to help those that no one else can. I like that…I like the idea that maybe I’m reading the beginning of a new series. But what I really enjoyed was knowing that this story would give me a viewpoint that I don’t think is explored as often…
