Glenn Rogers Announces The Second Book of THE IMMORTAL Series, "Betrayal"
Estherville, IA, July 08, 2015 --(PR.com)-- In Glenn Rogers’ THE IMMORTAL Betrayal, philosophy professor and crime consultant, Dr. Aaron Archer, faces one of his most baffling cases. College girls are being shot with a small caliber gun. Their nude bodies left lying near their cars in their dorm parking lot. Their neatly folded clothes are lying nearby; strange symbols have been carved into their chests. Aaron recognizes the symbols as ancient Sumerian cuneiform letters. It was the alphabet he’d learned as a boy almost fifty-five hundred years ago. The ancient symbols spelled out the word BETRAYAL. Who had the victims betrayed? Or had someone betrayed them?
Aaron soon discovers that all of the victims were members of the same sorority and each had taken a class with one particular professor. He also discovers that grades were being sold for sexual favors. Aaron begins questioning faculty. Then, another girl is killed. This one a student at a community college miles away. This time, the victim was killed at her apartment instead of on campus. Other than that, the crime scene was the same, the word BETRAYAL carved into her chest.
Another woman is killed, a professor is shot, hidden cameras are discovered in the girl’s dorms … but when family issues of the people involved become part of the investigation, things go in a very different direction.
As a college professor, Rogers is familiar with college campuses and the tensions and rivalries that go on, including the stressors that push students to their limits, impacting relationships and generating ethical dilemmas. When asked if there are professors who trade grades for sexual favors, Rogers said, “The vast majority of college faculty would never engage in such behavior and neither would most students. It does occasionally happen, however, and over the years faculty at different institutions, both large and small, have been reprimanded, fined, and or terminated for trading grades for sex. So unfortunately, the storyline in THE IMMORTAL Betrayal is plausible."
A feature of the story that Rogers enjoys a great deal is Aaron’s immortality. “Imagine the memories a person would have,” Rogers says, “who is fifty-five hundred years old and has lived all over the world. Aaron is a philosophy professor who was a student along with Aristotle in Plato’s Academy. He knew King David and Alexander the Great. He knew the Apostle Paul, Charlemagne, Henry the VIII and many more. He served kings and princes in various capacities and had experiences a mortal person can only imagine. Writing about the experiences Aaron remembers is fun. And then there was the dark time, a thousand year period of Aaron’s life that he would rather forget.”
THE IMMORTAL Betrayal is available on Amazon as a Kindle book or as a paperback or hardback. All of Glenn Rogers’ books are listed on his website: booksbyglennrogers.net
