A powerful and topical novel from the master of shock.
Trevayne was a self-made millionaire by the time he was thirty. Then he went into government, carving out a brilliant, honourable career. Now he was head of one of the biggest foundations in the USA. He was fearless, intelligent and incorruptible. No one could touch him – or so he thought.
Then his investigation into the ‘secret government’ led him beyond the corridors of official power into a nightmare maze where Mafia leaders and ‘legitimate’ billionaires mixed, where Congressional seats and even the Presidency itself were bought and sold: and where a man like Trevayne could be a dreaded enemy, a duped victim, or, maybe, just maybe, a king.
