The Scylla Hexagram

The Scylla Hexagram by Paul Riva, published by iUniverse in February 2004, is a gripping narrative that intertwines action and psychological elements. The story begins with Kym Blaze, who, under the full moon on a sacred Himalayan cliff, narrowly escapes a hooded killer. Eighteen years later, Kym, now a botanist and Special Ops agent, is tasked by a global Secret Service to track down the same killer, known as the Unicorn, whose influence has resurfaced in the Hong Kong underworld.

Readers will follow Kym as she embarks on a high-stakes mission to locate a star trader named Obermeyer, recently released from prison by the Unicorn’s associates. With only six days to prevent the Unicorn from gaining global power, Kym grapples with her emotional past, which complicates her quest. The narrative delves into themes of survival and the psychological challenges she faces as she navigates the dangerous landscape of the Scylla hexagram, ultimately confronting her deepest fears.
