New Release: Sovereign Evils

Overcoming a ruthless drug syndicate, corrupt attorneys, and more than a century of governmental betrayal couldn’t happen by chance. One good man can make a difference.

Sovereign Evils by new Catholic author Dan La Fave is a compelling legal suspense novel with elements of literary fiction and romance.

Synopsis:
When battle-scarred Marine-turned-lawyer Rod Strong joins a small firm in Deadwood, South Dakota, little does he suspect that he’ll soon be cast on the front line in the war on drugs. Yet an e-mail by a whistleblower at the repurposed Homestake Gold Mine reveals a concealed opioid production facility almost a mile underground that puts him and his associates in the line of fire of those running the operation. After the woman he loves gets abducted, can Strong stop the syndicate’s enforcer from killing her?

Strong subsequently discovers a private prophecy revealed to a Jesuit priest by legendary Oglala Lakota Chief Red Cloud on his deathbed. Could Strong be the one meant to fulfill it by restoring sacred Black Hills land to the Oglala Lakota and giving hope to those consigned to life on the Pine Ridge reservation? To do so would take tens of millions of dollars he doesn’t have. Yet, providentially, the assets of the drug syndicate come under his control—along with the shocking discovery of the mastermind behind it.

Will divine intervention enable Strong to overcome seemingly impossible odds?

Sovereign Evils is available in paperback, hardcover, and Kindle ebook.
