A murderous cult is hellbent on creating chaos and the eventual collapse of our government. Richard Geist, the Inner Circle of Friends' charismatic leader, has a hidden agenda no less ambitious than his followers' goals. Richard Geist wants control of a promising author, Robert Redler, and the man's extraordinary gift-the writer's alleged ability to predict the future-which even Redler has trouble understanding and reconciling.

Robert Redler's writing talents are also in demand by an unassuming housewife, Barbara Giordano, who hires the wordsmith to pen and expose certain practices of a corrupt state government working hand in hand with the Mafia. A contract has been put out on the woman. Barbara Giordano sees Robert Redler as her insurance policy.

Beginning with the brutal murder of a district attorney, in addition to men and women associated with Robert Redler's past, eventually lead police to the author's doorstep. Authorities have ample yet questionable reason to suspect Redler as the killer or accomplice. A maze of intrigue ensues as police vacillate between Redler's uncertain guilt or innocence. A lethal game of cat and mouse unfolds. Is Robert Redler actually Richard Geist's accomplice and pawn? Is the author being falsely accused of crimes he did not commit? Has the writer actually tapped into a supernatural phenomenon with which to combat the forces of evil that surround him? As there is no question of Richard Geist's guilt and evil genius, Robert Redler's gifted powers-a prodigy wielding no more than a pen-are viewed as an enigma. Is Redler's explosive new book the word and work of a higher power yet veiled as fiction, or grounded in rock-solid truth?
