Conspiracy of Patriots

Ten years after 2,977 Americans died on September 11, 2001, the outrage has dissipated and Americans are looking for ways out of a Middle East slipping back into medieval chaos, no longer a proving ground for the American Way. Tribal warlords and religious fanatics flourish as Western powers lose their appetite for state building. Walter Morrison is an old-fashioned patriot with a plan to rekindle American commitment. He has considerable wealth, access to power, a network of likeminded billionaires, and the capability for killing thousands of the world's most important people on four continents in a single instant. All he lacks is time and conscience. When Robert Harris Ormsby III (Rho) takes on a high-powered CFO client Marcia Littleton and starts to ask questions, they stumble across Morrison's horrific conspiracy to inflame the world. All they have to do is dodge ideological radicals, assassins, and international terrorists while trying to convince the authorities that they are not insane. Clocks are ticking down in San Francisco, Istanbul, Afghanistan and Washington DC to a moment where the world will be changed forever.
