LONDON, Sept. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "I've always been a big fan of Lara Croft and Modesty Blasé depictions. I figured it was time for a new heroine to take the stage, take our minds of the near ugliness of the world," Stevenson Mukoro says. This thought led him to write "Susan Dax: The First Susan Dax Adventure" (published by Xlibris UK in April 2016), an adventure and crime fiction about a woman who lacks nothing, who needs nothing, but does her utmost to do anything in order to find the truth and aid the unfortunate or downtrodded.

Sloughville was the place where just one man has control. It is a modern-day Xanadu, with a playground of exclusive clubs, pretty hookers, be they boy or girl and handsome, fat bellied or tanned botoxed filled corrupt elite. Not to mention the expensive and downright outrageous tastes of high-level police and officials and the cities ruling classes on the take. Enter Susan Dax, a mysterious woman who has lethal fighting skills and a secret. She flies into the city after receiving a message from a friend requesting her help — fast. However, she had no idea how fast until she arrives in Sloughville and finds her friend dead. All of a sudden, it seems that everyone wanted her out of town… immediately.

The police made it obvious. An influential millionaire made it abundantly clear and so did his glamorous wife and his son. Each threatening to make Susan's proposed stay very unpleasant if she did not heed their less than polite counsel. In the meantime, somewhere in Sloughville, a murderer was having themselves a holiday. Susan meant to find that person sitting on easy street, including the mysterious person who was the last person to see her friend alive. Because there was one thing the citizens of Sloughville were unaware, Susan was dangerous in her own way.

"Apart from the dialogue and fight scenes, there is a tale of intrigue that should appeal to most readers. If Robin Hood and Modesty Blaise had a child, it would be Susan Dax," Mukoro points out. "My book reveals how she and her hapless yet resourceful caretaker always seem to stay one step ahead of any variety of evil villains that come their way."

Mukoro hopes readers will enjoy the series of Susan Dax books and the first of those tales, "Susan Dax: The First Susan Dax Adventure." "It really lives up to the hype. It's a fast paced electric story, packed with white knuckled twists and neck breaking loop de loops, that is sure to kick your adrenaline level to a high gear," he adds.

About the Author
Stevenson Mukoro was born in Lewisham, London. He grew up in the middle-class suburb of Ughelli. From an early age, he wanted to be a professional pilot. In high school, however, two incidents defined his life in an unexpected fashion: a chance encounter with Peter O'Donnell and crashing the principal's car. Crashing the car put paid to a piloting career. A visit to the library during an Easter vacation in 1999 and meeting the late O'Donnell stirred his interest in writing. That and the regrettable death of his sister, Susan and later his brother, Ovie, inspired him to put pen on paer and express his sorrow. His imaginative writing slowly morphed into writing long tenses that leter shaped into him writing stories. He has degrees in business computing and administration but prefers the task of writing instead of a stressful; and ultimately unproductive business office life. After the July 7, 2005, bombings in London, he wrote many articles about war, terrorism and the clash of democratic Western societies with fundamentalist Muslim ones. He writes his bestselling adventure tales in a cottage overlooking the foothills of Bridlington, Yorkshire. He is the 2010 recipient of the Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Letters.
