Crossing the Line is the second of three stories that take place in the fictional town of Sycamore, SC. Each book stands alone without the reader's need of familiarity with the others. Some characters crossover in each story for the benefit of the loyal reader. The life of funny-boy ALEX AMADEUS COOPER is chronicled and pitted against ODON DYE in this good versus evil tale. Crossing the Line is a complex work full of symbolism and imagery but is simple enough to be followed and enjoyed by the most casual reader. Alex struggles to find his place in a world that operates very differently than how he feels it should. With the help of a familiar stranger, he discovers that he is connected to a sinister entity determined to force a final confrontation. Love, friendship, and coming of age are on a collision course with insanity, murder, and the supernatural. In a life filled with extraordinary adventure, Alex finds something that truly defies explanation. Its price will undoubtedly be exceptional.
