- Book Synopsis
- In a world of lies, proof is power. John Dyer must take on a deadly political conspiracy in order to bring his friend's killer to justice in this gripping thriller by an award-winning writer. 'An addictive page-turner' Charles Beaumont Forty years ago four university friends in Michigan witnessed a terrible crime that went unpunished. John Dyer has done his best to forget that day but when two of the group die in suspicious circumstances his journalistic instincts push him to investigate. Why, after all this time, they are being silenced? Little does Dyer know that he is walking into a dangerous political conspiracy. When you're up against a presidential candidate and his operatives, and you can't trust anything you're told, how will Dyer find the proof he needs? 'Superbly written, with atmosphere, intelligence and tension, it reminds you of the best of Graham Greene. There can be no higher praise' Daily Mail 'A terrific novel' Literary Review
