‘THE BOSTON COWBOY LEGEND BEGINS‘ (WC81000)

Wealthy high-tech genius and philanthropist Juan Miguel Trestin has an alter ego that thrives in the dark web as an expert hacker jockeying with criminals. His double life threatens to unravel when Trestin infiltrates a cold-blooded killer’s impending conspiracy to assassinate the leaders of the G7 nations one each day between Christmas and New Year’s; and is snared in the murderer’s net as a suspected accomplice to the criminal Jovan Tosoveau.

The G7 issue a global desperate manhunt. Conspiracy, suspicion, and treachery thwart the multinational operation, but not before revealing the criminal’s motive – he hates the free world for ignoring the spread of ruthless Communism and its consequences. He and his family were driven from their homes, jailed, and tortured. The G7 will pay with their lives for Tosoveau’s tormented existence and to satisfy his insane appetite for vengeance.

Tosoveau and Trestin both experience childhood trauma, but Trestin’s childhood guardian guides him through his anger when he was abandoned as a child. Trestin becomes a wealthy philanthropist who shies away from publicity, until the sinking of a luxury liner. He was listed as a passenger but missed his boarding call. Because of a headline story ‘Boston Cowboy Survives Disaster’, Trestin, easily recognized for the fedora he wears, becomes an instant celebrity with undesirable consequences.

As December 25 draws near, Trestin convinces the G7 that he can locate the criminal and has a scheme to apprehend him. Given a chance to redeem his reputation and prove his innocence, can Trestin and his former guardian succeed without disclosing his hacking activity and their troubling secret of  a past connection to the villain?
