From the belly of the dragon – Mark Mynheir

Description

In From the Belly of the Dragon, Dr. Walter Simmons is a charismatic figure—a successful author and self-help guru who blends psychological principles with New Age spirituality. His books and tapes are a hit, particularly among college students, making him a household name. But beneath the polished surface of his teachings lies something far more sinister.

When Simmons invites his top students to join him for an “intensive training program,” they unknowingly step into the clutches of a dangerous cult. Among them is Ruby, the daughter of Florida Department of Law Enforcement Agent Tim Porter. Ruby, like the others, is lured in by Simmons’s promises of enlightenment but quickly finds herself trapped in a nightmare.

Tim, alongside his ex-wife, is driven to the edge as they desperately try to rescue Ruby from Simmons’s manipulative hold. With an FBI investigation in the works, a corrupt police chief, and an escalating spiritual battle, Tim and his family must navigate a web of danger and deception.

In a final attempt to escape, Ruby flees into the treacherous South Florida marshes, but the true horror is only beginning. With time running out, the Porters are faced with a heart-wrenching question: How far are they willing to go to save their daughter?
