A Leafy Green World

DR. BRENT HOLCOMB WAS LOOKING FOR A NEW START WHEN HE MOVED TO PORTLAND, OREGON, A CHANCE TO END THE STEADY DOWNHILL STREAK THAT HAD BECOME HIS LIFE. HIS NEW HOME SEEMED LIKE A PROMISING BEGINNING, UNTIL HE DISCOVERED THE TRUTH ABOUT HIS NEW FRIENDS.

Dr. Brent Holcomb’s life has been on a steady decline from the pinnacles of the international ultra-rich existence of his youth, but things finally were going his way. A loving wife, a beautiful daughter and a fulfilling career; the perfect life he had dreamed of was in reach until tragedy struck. Always his own worst enemy, Dr. Holcomb’s heartbroken reaction renewed that descent, plunging him to unimaginable new lows; the move to Portland would likely be his last chance.

Brent found himself emerged in an exciting new life, until he realized that his new friends weren’t what they appeared to be. He finds himself caught up in the murder of an innocent man, deeply enmeshed with domestic terrorists, and with nowhere to turn. A bold plan forms in his mind, a plan that will put him on a treacherous path, with not only his own life at stake, but the fate of his family, and even his country.

A Leafy Green World is the second novel from Sean Dow (Debridement), and he once again offers a story packed with intrigue, fast-paced action, and unexpected curves. Join Dr. Holcomb on this fast-paced adventure as he pits his wits against those of the most secretive, ruthless domestic and international terrorists as they seek to destroy America, where his every move could be his last.

*****

Dr. Brent Holcomb had no idea how much a chance encounter with a friendly dog and an overweight barber would change his life. He wasn't looking for adventure when he moved to Portland, and he certainly wasn't looking for adventure that evening when he stumbled into Paddy O'Bryan's to unwind after a particularly trying day at the hospital, but that's what he found.

Before long, Dr. Holcomb found himself perfectly positioned to infiltrate the Northwest's loose network of eco-terrorists as they planned a major operation to bring the U.S. economy to its knees. Throw in a deeply hidden cell of international terrorists with plans of its own, and Dr. Holcomb's life is about to get a whole lot more interesting!

Sean Dow is a practicing pulmonary and critical care specialist enjoying his new life in Great Falls, MT.

He was born in Iowa City, Iowa, and raised in Topeka, Kansas. He graduated from the University of Kansas School of Medicine, where he also did his internal medicine internship and residency. He completed his sub-specialty training in Tucson, Arizona, at the University of Arizona College of Medicine.

After finishing his fellowship, Dr. Dow began a solo practice in the high desert community of Klamath Falls, Oregon—an understated gem of the world. The people of that fine Northwestern community hold a dear spot in his heart.

When not practicing or writing, Dr. Dow can be found in the kitchen or on a mountain stream with his favorite fly rod, two interests that often show up in his novels.
