About the book
A man is caught up in a corporate scandal in a thriller from a New York Times bestseller that "keeps the suspense boiling until the final twists" (Publishers Weekly).It was the deal of the decade, if not the century. A small, insignificant company on the edge of bankruptcy had discovered an alchemist's dream; a miraculous polymer, that when coated on any vehicle, was the equivalent of thirty inches of steel. With bloody conflicts surging in Iraq and Afghanistan, the polymer promises to save thousands of lives and change the course of "both "wars.
Jack Wiley, a successful Wall Street banker, believes he has a found a dream come true when he mysteriously learns of this miraculous polymer. His plan: enlist the help of the Capitol Group, one of the country's largest and most powerful corporations in a quick, bloodless takeover of the small company that developed the polymer. It seems like a partnership made in heaven . . .until the Pentagon's investigative service begins nosing around, and the deal turns into a nightmare. Now, Jack's back is up against the wall and he and the Capitol Group find themselves embroiled in the greatest scandal the government and corporate America have ever seen . . .
"The multiple layers of the story line will have readers turning the pages, . . .the Capitol game is definitely worth playing." —Booklist

About the book
An American president who will do anything to win reelection.
An Iranian leader who will stop at nothing to bring about apocalypse.
An ancient evil, only waiting to be reborn. . .
High in the Alborz Mountains of northwestern Iran, an archaeological team disappears. Americans are among the missing. Days later, imagery from U.S. spy satellites reveals detachments of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps descending upon the site. . .
With the presidential election only months away, President Roger Hancock authorizes a covert CIA mission into the mountains of Iran. Their objective: rescue the archaeologists and uncover the truth.
With fifteen years in the Clandestine Service, paramilitary operations officer Harry Nichols is unquestionably the man for the job. He's a tough, ruthless veteran operator. He's led his men into harm's way time and again.
For him, it's all about the mission. It's all about the team. He's never seen anything like this before.
The mission itself is suspect. His team can no longer be trusted. And a misstep means world war. . .
