Description

Wes Holloway, a cocky and ambitious presidential aide, puts Ron Boyle, the chief executive s oldest friend, into the presidential limousine. Minutes later, Wes is permanently disfigured, and Boyle is dead, the victim of a crazed assassin.

Eight years later, Boyle is spotted, alive and well, in Malaysia.

Trying to figure out what really happened takes Wes back to a decade-old presidential crossword, mysterious facts buried in Masonic history, and a two-hundred-year-old code invented by Thomas Jefferson. But what Wes doesn t realize is that The Book of Fate holds everyone s secrets. Especially the ones worth dying for.

Reviews

'This is a confident, character-driven, unpretentious, old-school thriller' -- Daily Telegraph 'All the twists and turns follow that you might expect of a Dan Brown acolyte.' -- Express 'This white-knuckle thriller portrays cybertheft in the banking world in a beguiling concoction that keeps you hooked from start to finish' -- The Irish Times on THE MILLIONAIRES 'Breakneck ... an action-packed read' -- Mail on Sunday on DEAD EVEN 'This is non-stop, well researched action that does not insult the intelligence. The scenarios are credible, the tension excruciating and the ending slaps you in the face.' -- Guardian on THE ZERO GAME 'This is a confident, character-driven, unpretentious, old-school thriller' -- Daily Telegraph
