Operation D (Paperback or Softback)

Unspeakable Mysteries of the

Unstoppable New Ripper

Washington DC - Something is not right in the glimmering metropolises of Florida's Gold Coast. From Miami's South Beach, up through Boca Raton and the Palm Beach area, hideous and unspeakable terror is being unleashed by a dark and mysterious figure known as The New Ripper. Reminiscent of the 19th Century London mass-murderer, Jack the Ripper, this present-day killer stalks, tortures, executes and mutilates his victims in even more gruesome and insidious ways.

When conventional Federal and local law enforcement agencies seem baffled and ineffective, the White House calls on a new, top-secret department to combat the nemesis. The President and his advisors are growing increasingly concerned that these unchallenged murders are making the whole country appear vulnerable, and that the growing perception of America's weakness might even make it ripe for terrorism from abroad.

Enter the clandestine government agency, G5, which dispatches one of its top undercover agents, Christopher Seven, to Florida. He soon discovers a connection to past atrocities now manifesting themselves in a modern-day satanic terrorist network. This devil worshiping sect, complete with blood drinking rituals and horrific vengeance slayings, may actually control the actions of the unstoppable New Ripper, and Seven puts his life on the line to find out from where this mysterious force emanates. The result is a wild and terrifying journey, taking the reader right into the depths of hell itself!

Ray Pasquin's Operation D skillfully draws you into this sinister world of cults and terror and makes you a willing participant in every aspect of the dark and twisted trail. In the end, you will be delightfully spellbound, knowing you were there from the very start. The author's ability to write in a thrilling and entertaining style has now taken readers to a fiction world like no other, and, hopefully soon, to a major motion picture developed around Pasquin's new American hero, Christopher Seven!

"Spellbinding! Operation D is an exciting thriller in the best tradition of the genre. Pasquin's hero is ready for several ongoing adventures and the book is undoubtedly destined to be a blockbuster motion picture."

Ray Pasquin is certainly no stranger to writing, having worked as a leading comedy writer, television scribe and stand-up performer for over thirty years.During that time, highlighted by his being a 'regular' at New York's legendary Comic Strip nightclub, Ray has written for or appeared with such luminaries as Bob Hope, Jerry Seinfeld, Paul Reiser, Eddie Murphy, Benny Hill, Rodney Dangerfield and several other top name entertainers. He's also hosted two nationally syndicated radio and television programs, having interviewed over 300 guests from the world of news, literature, sports and the performing arts. He still hosts several radio 'specials' aired throughout the USA and Canada. It was, in fact, during his research and preparation for one of these programs that the nucleus of his book evolved.While readying himself to interview former members of the CIA and the US Secret Service, Ray stumbled upon a little-known espionage department run by the United States government. Intrigued, he explored it further. After several 'on' and 'off the record' conversations with Washington, he came up with the foundation for the main protagonist of his story; thus, creating one of the more unique lead characters in recent years! Additional hearsay and study about these brave undercover operatives peaked Ray's creative juices, and a fascinating new hero was born.Ray Pasquin lives in New Jersey and in Boca Raton, Florida, and travels the country and the world for both business and pleasure. He currently works with several leading celebrities and agencies, now in a consulting and writing capacity. Ray is married to wife Rolande, and they have two sons, Chris and Tim.
