December 21, 1988 Worlds change forever when a terrorist bomb brings down Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland for Manhattan federal judge Randolph Elliott, with the loss of his estranged daughter, Diana and for the United States and her allies, with the incipient presidency of George Herbert Walker Bush Lockerbie was just the beginning. The West's war on terror is born. In the aftermath of Lockerbie, a plan for the U.S. and her allies to take war to terrorists is revived. A covert agency, Olympiad, is created deep inside Interpol with a mission to disrupt terrorist operations and bring death to their doorstep. As Britain focuses on the Lockerbie plotters, America sets its sights on the arms trafficking underground. Resources are shared when UK Olympiad brings a turncoat IRA bomber to New York. The Irishman proves his worth and his mettle, infiltrating a Mafia scheme to sell stolen plastic explosives. He befriends a low-level mob soldier, a hot dog vendor in lower Manhattan, whose hijacking sideline has the pair crossing paths. Judge Elliott despairs the loss of his daughter, and becomes obsessed with the airline executive he blames for contributing to tragedy over Lockerbie. He finds comfort in the friendship of a fellow New York Mets fan, the man with the Sabrett cart outside his courthouse. In time, secrets are shared, as are desperate dreams of revenge. A plot comes together and unfolds on a fateful night in Hell’s Kitchen, New York … September 1, 1989 … when a Judge, an Irishman and a Hot Dog Vendor go into a Bar.
