SOUL WITNESS Depicts Terrorism in Society

LEMOYNE, Pa.

Wanting to expose the grievous consequences that terrorism causes to human life and civil society, author William C. Costopoulos crafts a novel revolving around the depths of morality and justice. "Soul Witness" (published by Xlibris) is about a suspected terrorist who was physically present at five unspeakable acts of terrorism who was finally apprehended and tried in a court of law.

In this captivating tale of terrorism in America, complacency is challenged with the startling reality that these violent acts can actually happen in the United States. Set predominantly in South Central Pennsylvania, Manhattan and Washington, DC-with a side trip to Russia-a marvelous cast of talented and unpredictable characters attempt to unravel a cluster of terrifying events that appear to involve one mysterious individual. The story takes astonishing turns during his apprehension and trial that lead to a provocative, sobering conclusion. The conundrum of free will and origins of good and evil in society are the basis for this imaginative story. Readers will experience how an assemblage of skilled attorneys, judges and other members of the US criminal justice system wrestle with moral, ethical and legal issues surrounding a defendant who defies all known precedents and leaves them powerless to defend or convict.

"Terrorism is war in a new form, expanding inexorably into the lives of peaceful citizens worldwide, rendering even mundane activities potentially dangerous," author Costopoulos points out. This novel illuminates the dreaded toxin of terrorism and seeks to enlighten readers to pursue battling against it wholeheartedly.
