Viac o knihe

An aging mastermind envisions a final plan to dismantle the right-wing establishment with a strike at the heart of the U.S. government. With funding, a lethal weapon, and a skilled professional at his side, he aims for a world-shaking attack. Meanwhile, San Diego defense attorney Paul Madriani is still coping with the aftermath of a narrowly averted nuclear disaster at a naval base. Under pressure from federal authorities to remain silent about the incident, he faces a new dilemma with Joselyn Cole, a captivating weapons control expert who insists he must go public to prevent future threats. Complicating matters, Madriani is implicated in the murder of a political staffer in Washington, with suspicion falling on a notorious assassin known as "the Mexicutioner." This figure, a survivor of the San Diego attack, may be driven by a twisted vendetta against Madriani. As they delve deeper, Madriani and Cole grow increasingly concerned that the Old Weatherman and the assassin have united, plotting to plunge the city and the nation into chaos before they can unravel the mystery surrounding "the rule of nine."
