Deep Cover, Shallow Graves: A Novel

Set in present-day Denver, this political thriller features former contract CIA operative turned plumber, Will Pearson, who shows up for a court-ordered psychiatric appointment with Dr. Yancey. During his appointment, Pearson recounts disturbing dreams of his adventures in America’s most secretive black operations in Cuba, Southeast Asia, and even the United States. Pearson even claims he was among those sent to Dallas by the CIA in November 1963 to stop the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Are Pearson’s dreams real or the figments of an overwrought imagination? The seasoned psychiatrist, Dr. Yancey, skeptical at first, gradually comes to believe his new patient. It also becomes clear that the psychiatrist is more than what he appears to be. Some shadowy organization does not want Pearson’s dreams investigated. Sinister figures follow Pearson, and Dr. Yancey makes a strange phone call after Pearson’s first visit. Who or what is behind Pearson’s court-ordered psychiatric visits, and more importantly, why?
