Animus (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798506528241)

Robert Sumina, a successful entrepreneur, husband, and father, hates his own father, Enis, so much that he told his ten-year-old daughters their grandfather died. Why? Because Enis was so verbally and physically abusive that Robert's mother committed suicide to escape his wrath.When Hurricane Katrina demolishes New Orleans and sends thousands of residents fleeing from the city, Enis, now sixty-five years old, hobbled, and destitute because of the hurricane, lands-unannounced-on the doorstep of Robert's suburban Dallas home. Robert's lie is exposed. To make matters worse, Enis is nothing like the monster Robert described. Robert's daughters and wife are drawn to Enis like moths to a flame. He's charismatic, kind, wise, and has them eating out of the palm of his hand. But Robert isn't buying Enis' act. So, when his wife and kids aren't around, he gives Enis an ultimatum-leave in two weeks or be prepared to face the same level of abuse that he inflicted on Robert and his mother. Enis counters with a threat that will bring Robert to his knees and leaning toward what appears to be his only option...murder. Bestselling Author, Brian W. Smith, has crafted a suspense novel with the tension of an Alfred Hitchcock thriller. This story of dysfunction and blackmail is punctuated with the author's trademark plot twist that is sure to make this an instant classic.
