The Architect of Revenge: A September 11th Novel

Dr. Wesley Morgan is a noted Chicago pediatric surgeon. But on September 11, 2001, he is simply a man in love, en route to surprise his fianc e, Caroline, who is attending a breakfast celebration atop the World Trade Center. Stuck in traffic, he witnesses the horrific terrorist attack like a spectator at a movie theater-except one of the characters is his very own Caroline.

The Architect of Revenge tells the story of how Caroline's death transforms Morgan from a doctor saving lives to a grief-stricken shadow of a man suspended from duty to a hunter seeking to kill the mastermind responsible for the 9/11 attacks.

Intent on revenge, Morgan trains himself to his purpose with the same fervor he used during all his medical training. Two years later, Barif Ali steps onto a freighter bound for Pakistan.

A romantic suspense novel, Architect of Revenge takes readers on a journey of the heart, and through an honest look at the path of revenge, the story forces Morgan to contend with himself as well as his enemy. What he discovers in the end will surprise you, as well.

A physician himself, T.W. Ainsworth, like most Americans, couldn’t get the horrific events of September 11, 2001, out of his mind. But rather than simply dwell on it, he chose to write about it. Using the cathartic expression of fiction, The Architect of Revenge grapples with the common feeling of the day-the desire for revenge-and follows one man’s journey not only into the heart of al-Qaeda but into his own.

The author lives in both New Mexico and Florida and has learned much about faith, friendship, and forgiveness from the writing of this story.
