Xerses Franklin

Book excerpt: Xerses Franklin is a happy representative in a large company, travelling between London and other European Cities. He maintains contact with a group of University friends who are all successful. However, his life changes dramatically when he tries to reunite two of his best friends Gabriel and Melona. Gabriel is a well-known Poet and Novelist, and Melona his estranged wife, is a PR Assistant with the same company as Xerses. Events spiral disastrously and traumatically out of control on THAT Saturday as their lives converge. Abby a beautiful Cosmetics Consultant, becomes the loving wife of Xerses, and his alibi, as he seeks peace in a Caribbean retreat. Their love for each other grows as they narrowly escape death when trouble follows them, in this tale of murder, jealousy and hate. Passions run high as true natures are exposed alongside an enduring and unrequited love in this new novel by Lee J Morrison, following the success of his previous book, The Many Faces of April Jade. This new novel marks an exciting departure from his usual format as he reveals the character of XERSES FRANKLIN: THE SAGA OF GABRIEL & MELONA.
