(Sidney Sheldon)
Are You Afraid Of The Dark by Sidney Sheldon A New York based think tank named Kingsley International Group( KIG) with offices in thirty countries of the world and headed by Andrew a Nobel laureate assisted by his brother Kingsley has five thousand employees in their worldwide operation. Top executives of KIG were dying in different countries under mysterious circumstances. Franz and Sonja Verbrugge in Berlin, Mark Harris in Paris, Gary Reynolds in Denver Colorado, and Richard Stevens in New York all died mysteriously within the same week. Kingsley who is the new head of the company, after Andrew became incapacitated mentally in a laboratory test accident; had a solidarity meeting with the wives of the dead executives by inviting them to the New York office to sympathize with them. Two of the wives Kelly Harris and Diane Stevens were curious about the circumstances of their husbands death and began to investigate privately by questioning their husbands colleagues ,business associates, friends and secretaries . Kingsley decided to murder them to prevent the exposure of a secret project , PRIMA to which their dead husbands were connected as top researchers . The aim of PRIMA was to control the weather worldwide and already Kingsley was terrorizing countries with unusual weather changes. Thunderstorms, hurricanes and continuous rainfalls in countries where they were hitherto unheard of. Kingsley conned senator Pauline Van Luven ,who is the chairman of the senate select committee on environment to secure the US government support for PRIMA;.under the guise that the weather changes being simulated by PRIMA were actually due to global warming. Many countries were coerced with unfavorable weather conditions and asked to pay billions of dollars to have conditions normalized. The love that Kelly and Diane, the wives of the murdered executives has for their husbands made them determined to unravel the mystery of their death. Unknown to them assassins were sent after them by Tanner Kingsley the head of KIG. Tracing them was made easy through a chip embedded in the business card that Kingsley gave them and through their mobile phones. They escaped many attempts on their lives and decided as a last resort to report the activities of KIG to the chairman of the senate select committee on the environment Pauline Van Luven who unknown to them is an ally of Kingsley their adversary. This led to their being captured but like the proverbial cat with nine lives they escaped again . They decided to expose the illegality of PRIMA and KIG to the whole world by sending invitations to the major media houses in the world including the CNN and major newspapers for the launching of PRIMA . Kingsley in his confusion had to abort the project by planting a bomb on PRIMA, and flew out with the senator who is his lover en -route to an island that he bought for PRIMA 2. The bomb planted on PRIMA was also intended to terminate his brothers life . His brother however started operating the weather machine before the machine was scheduled to explode and spun tornados that smashed Kingsleys airplane to pieces thereby killing Kingsley and Pauline Van Luven.. Andrew was also blown into pieces when the PRIMA exploded as programmed by Kingsley.
