2000s: Terrorism reaches the White House
What you need to know before your trail
When a plane explodes over the Atlantic Ocean, killing hundreds of passengers, including controversial US presidential candidate Dale Victor, it appears to be a clear-cut case of terrorism. The suspect has even confessed to the bombing. But as criminal barrister Michael Devlin is about to discover, everything is not as it seems.
Also suspecting there are other forces at work, intelligence agent Joe Dempsey is driven to investigate. Who would have wanted Victor out of the way – and would commit mass murder to do it? As the evidence begins to mount, everything seems to point to the US government itself, all the way to the top. And now someone is determined to stop Dempsey and Devlin from discovering the truth. At any cost.
With countless more lives on the line, Dempsey must find a way to prove who’s pulling the strings, and free the White House from the deadly grip that has taken hold of power.

Travel Guide
Travel from London to NYC and Washington DC
From the London tube, to a plane over the Atlantic, there is international travel galore here. Terrorism too as it reaches not only the airplane but the higher echelons of US political society.
This is a very timely novel since it deals with terrorism, planes exploding over the ocean and power struggles, border questions and war. Power struggles on each and every level. A US president who is not as he seems to be.
The author works as a barrister in London and this gives a very gritty realism to the novel.
