Description

What do Brain Surgery, Carnivals, Science, Isaac Newton, Engineering, Nikola Tesla, Religion, The Bible, Philosophy, and Serial Killing have in common?

They are all components of an intriguing work of art. High Striker is an intellectual suspense/thriller like no other. Follow the saga of the Konklin family. From the patriarch Hugh Konklin who leaves his job as an engineer to become a carnival sideshow master, to Bill Konklin the second generation heir and orphan left to navigate carnival life on his own.

Finally, follow the exploits of Dr. Amos Konklin, child carny, adult neurosurgeon, and executioner. His weapon of choice is the instrument used in the carnival sideshow game, a sledgehammer. His targets are evil men revealed to him in his dreams. High Striker leads the reader to thought-provoking consideration of the line that separates good and evil, coincidence and providence, delusion and sanity.
