THE RUSE BOMBS
PRELIMINARY JACKET COVER
Marie Gautier acquires an early racial hatred
when her mother is killed by a drunk Mexican
in Corpus Christi, Texas during WW II. Twenty
years later she returns to her birthplace,
Baton Rouge, Louisiana, as the principle in a
convoluted plot to discredit all Mexicans and
avenge her childhood loss. Her lover and friend
orchestrates the plan from a distance, tuning
her talents in a performance whose outcome is
known only to a sinister group called "The
Consilium". Caught in a maelstrom of love,
racial hatred, revenge, and fear, Marie grasps
for reasons that crest and drag her beneath a
family secret she is unable to accept.
