About the Book A Date With Death is a novel dealing with two former lovers whose relationships were embroiled in both lust and hate encounters after a one-night stand. Toto, a former drug trafficker, turned over a new leaf and became a reborn Christian, contributing to the building of a new Church and setting up a legitimate tin manufacturing company. Molly Tam, an arms dealer with a dark secret past, had connections with the United States Senators, Congressmen and battleships' Commanders, contravened with shipments of military hardware from the States to the Tamil Tigers in Jaffna. Molly capitalized on the only asset she knew to procure favours from the top brass in the States and enlisted the Tamil Tigers to help her evil cause. Their interests conflicted and churned into hatred, resulting in a war when a subordinate of Toto was caught trafficking in heroin, a trap deliberately weaved by his ex-lover. A continuous chain of revenge from both camps leads to numerous deaths. The adventures take the players to far-flung places in South Africa and Texas, to those closer to home, including Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines. One of Molly Tam's captives, a fortune teller who raped her, was satanically eliminated by Land Eating Piranhas, fondly termed The Black Widows, originating from the thick vegetations of Jaffna.

Excerpts

'We're going to build an insanity defence, arguing that you're mentally ill. One method of doing it, is eating your own faeces and drinking your own urine. The rest is to talk nonsensically with anyone that comes in contact with you, and to hallucinate especially during the night.'

'Good.' May Ling calmly said. 'This is where I'm going to enjoy most. Seeing you climax to your death.'

******

'These two needles contained different forms of deaths. One quick and the other slow. One needle has mixed poisons of rattle snakes and cobras from the jungles in Jaffna, while the other was blood extracted from a dying AIDS patient in Sri Lanka.'

Mohammed Sultan managed to take off her clothings and what he saw was a precocious girl with well-developed breasts. He consumed a viagra half and hour ago and it galvanized his sexual prowess.
