Everyone has a bad day. Graduate student Ian Nash has lost his girlfriend in addition to being dropped from a Ph.D. program in theatre at a Southern California university. When he stops at a local coffee shop in the lobby of a bank to apply for a job, the proverbial organic matter hits the fan. A gang of four robs the bank, and things get bloody. Ian is taken hostage by the robbers when the police show up. Now he has to save his life.

FBI Special Agent Aleece Medina’s analysis of the bloody bank heist drives her into the pursuit of a robbery gang headed by two women. She doesn’t anticipate how this robbery will pit her against both the bandits and the male higher-ups in the FBI while the media heats up during a giant manhunt.

The robbers are about to kill Ian, and all he has at hand is his knowledge of the stage.

Praise for Christopher Meek’s Love at Absolute Zero:

ForeWord Reviews’ BOOK OF THE YEAR FINALIST

 Top-Ten Best Fiction 2011 at Book Chase: “It is impossible not to like Gunnar Gunderson. As he progresses from one disaster or near miss to the next, one views him with a mixture of compassion and laughter. — Sam Sattler, Book Chase

 Winner 2011 Red Adept Reviews Indie Award—Romance: “The author hit a home run. It’s a very good story, very well told.”— Jim Chambers, Red Adept Reviews

 Winner 2011 Noble Award (not Nobel): “The tension between science and emotion has never been more keenly felt.” — Carolyn Howard-Johnson

“Thermodynamics are nothing; it’s that love thing that is so frustrat- ingly hard to figure out. Love at Absolute Zero is an excellent read that is very much worth considering, highly recommended!”— Midwest Book Review

 “It is a given, now, that Christopher Meeks is a master craftsman as a writer. The novel is a gift—and one of the many that continue to emerge from the pen and mind of so genuinely fine a writer.”— Grady Harp, Amazon Top-Ten Reviewer

 “Three cheers for Christopher Meeks and his wildly entertaining picareque novel about the gentle, bumbling hero physicist Gunnar Gundarson’s quest for love and marriage.”— Linda Hitchock, BookTrib

 “As engaging as it is amusing, Love at Absolute Zero is, ultimately, a heartfelt study of the tension between the head and heart, science and emotion, calculation and chance.”— Marc Schuster, Small Press Reviews

 “A deeply resonant read that manages to be funny without sacrificing its gravity. Highly recommended!”— Heather Figearo, Raging Bibliomania

Praise for Christopher Meek’s The Brightest Moon in the Century:

“Christopher Meeks chronicles one man’s path to middle-age and, in doing so, illustrates how choices and circumstances — even those that seem arbitrary and the time — have a way of irrevocably cementing a person’s future.”— Cherie Parker, Minneapolis Star Tribune

“This is a moving novel.”— Rachel Durfor, Rebecca’s Reads

“Charming and endlessly entertaining.”— Midwest Book Review

“Throughout it all, Meeks uses Edward’s worries and internal dialogue as a focus to show the possibilities found in small moments: in sun- rises, in friendships, in apparent disaster. Unpretentious and deeply human, the normalcy and everyman nature of the novel give it power.”— Jennie Blake, BookGeeks

“This is what I love about Meeks: his ability to gauge humanity, his understanding and acceptance of the strangeness of intricacies of life and personality, and his wonderful sense of compassion for his charac- ters.”— Heather Figearo, Raging Bibliomania

“I have to say I’ve gone from being an admirer of his work to a full- blown fan bordering on groupie.”— Marc Schuster, Small Press Reviews

“His stance in the echelon of new important American writers seems solidly secure.”— Grady Harp, Top Ten Amazon Reviewer

“Meeks has the talent to carry his quirky characters and their ‘find their extraordinary in the everyday’ plots into a full-length novel.”— Dawn Rennert, She’s Too Fond of Books

“[Meeks] gives us characters who are very human and who face many obstacles in life, and then he infuses their stories with hope.”— Wendy Robards, Caribousmom

 About Christopher Meeks:

Christopher Meeks first published short fiction in a number of literary journals, and the stories are available in two collections, The Middle-Aged Man and the Sea and Months and Seasons. Recently, he’s focused on novels. The Brightest Moon of the Century is a story of a man who yearns for love and success, covering over thirty years—a tale that Marc Schuster of Small Press Reviews describes as “a great and truly humane novel in the tradition of Charles Dickens and John Irving.” His last novel, Love At Absolute Zero, is about a physicist who uses the tools of science to find his soul mate–and he has just three days. Critic Grady Harp calls the book “a gift.” The new novel, Blood Drama, has him edge into a thriller. Meeks also runs White Whisker Books and publishes four authors.
