What deadly secret links an Ivy-League professor with fighter pilot credentials; an investigative journalist – blackballed by the Chinese; a Buddhist monk with the skills of an assassin, and a besieged US President Elect embroiled in a hostage crisis that could easily spark World War Three? The answer lies with two warring secret societies, both of which have the best interests of humanity at heart but employ very different methods of achieving their ends – violence is inevitable. The story takes place on one day in 2009 and moves from Dartmouth College USA, to North Korea, Japan and the North Pole; from the Vatican City, to London and a medieval castle in Switzerland. All the while looking inside the minds of committed individuals, some heroic, some misguided or brainwashed, and some truly evil; but each with their own take on the meaning of love and loyalty. This is a fast moving thriller that will leave you on the edge of your seat desperate to find out what happens next!
