In 1961 in Leopoldville, the Congo, the American Kearns and the Russian Zhukov ask the mercenary major with the Anglo-Irish accent if all is ready. He tells them that the VIP will meet with Mobutu before flying on to see Tshombe in Ndola; he will not make it there. They give him 50% of his fee. Three days later UN Secretariat Dag Hammarskj ld and his retinue die in a place crash on his way from seeing Mobutu to meet with Tshombe. Rumors fly that his death was no accident, but no proof surfaces to prove otherwise and within two years an assassination in Dallas becomes the centerfold of conspiracy buffs.
In 1997, as part of President Yelstin opening up Russia to new freedoms, secret documents of the KGB Communist reign are being revealed. Russian businessman Misha Kedrov finds some damming evidence implicating the Soviet Union and the U.S. in the death of Hammarskj ld. Knowing who else was murdered as part of the Hammarskj ld contingent, an outraged Misha takes his find to terrorist Conor "Eduardo Kelly Herrera" Brady with hopes and prayers to cause a new rift between the tentative allies the Americans and the Russians. President Clinton learns of the brewing problem and sends his top troubleshooter, Special Envoy Owen MacDara, to do what is necessary to prevent a new Cold War from heating up.
The key to this action-packed thriller that effortlessly moves back and forth between 1997 and 1961 is the plausibility of the two superpowers agreeing to rid themselves of a champion of the Third World, who wants the giants to stop using these poorer nations as heated pawns of the Cold War. The storyline is action-packed from start to finish and the prime antagonists seem genuine. Adding to the realism of this exhilarating conspiracy tale is real world leaders like Clinton, Yelstin and Blair. Pat Mullan spins a one-sitting suspense novel that will leave the audience demanding he take a close look at JFK's death next.
