The Kent estate includes a large mansion filled with numerous valuables but it lies isolated from the rest of the Santa Monica area by land reserves and woods. On the night of the Kent dinner party with the Danforths, five armed assailants burst into the house. The pre-planned assault goes off without a hitch except that Mrs. Kent, thinking she saw an intruder in the shadows, dialed 911. When rookie police officer Trisha Robinson and her partner arrive, they find four adults calmly eating dinner. Tell tale signs flashed between the guests and the officers alerting the police that all is not well inside the home. As the cops try to leave, the terrorists, realizing that theyÆve been spotted, kill TrishaÆs partner and lock her in the trunk of a car that they intend to drive into a nearby lake. Trisha manages to escape and returns to the estate, intent on rescuing the KentÆs teenage daughter. The Commando leader spots Trisha and the fifteen year old leaving. He and his team follow in an intrigue filled cat and mouse game with life being the ultimate prize of the game. MORTAL PURSUIT is an intellectual version of DIE HARD, complete with the same frantic pace and action. The heroine symbolizes the essence that everyone wants to see in a law enforcement official as she overcomes her fears and performs with great honor and courage. Brian Harper delivers a dynamic suspense filled thriller as all his fans have come to expect.
