NEW! Video of David Pereda Interview at FoxNews Albany, GA

"A thrilling suspense novel is a little like suspecting your spouse has a lover and you setting out to prove it -- every gut-wrenching word, casual glance or innocent action has multiple meanings and ratches up the unbearable tension until, finally, when you are about to explode, you find out the truth -- which will inevitably surprise you!"
