Additional information

Domino is a story about a teacher who finds himself in a dysfunctional marriage that leads him into an extramarital affair. During one of his transgressions, he stumbles into a murder cover-up.
While informing the police on what he witnessed, he finds himself in the middle of a conspiracy that is threatening to disrupt the democratic framework of the US. James researches and discovers that the downward trajectory in education is not accidental. While he is researching this premise, the first attempts on his life are almost realized. To protect his family, James leaves home and offers to "forget" what he knows. This works for a while, then the truce is broken when his vindictive wife concocts a story that sends his rivals after him one last time.
With that new information, his enemies locate James's campsite in the primitive hunting grounds of New Mexico and attack. Armed with a bow and a knife, he escapes into the forest and the bitter cold. He now faces two foes, the icy weather and the men stalking him. As he runs, he resolves the questions lingering in his mind... Why is education being targeted? Is our democracy under attack from within?
James, always the skeptic, still wonders if this is really happening. Are we fighting some sort of covert war on our own soil? Why are people so numb to what's going on? He sums it up with a famous phrase by Juvenal, an ancient Roman poet, "Panem et circenses."
