It was all true! It had been true from the be-ginning. God in heaven, it was never fiction; it was fact! J. Edgar Hoover had not died the natural death of a sick old man. He had been assassinated!
With this realization, best-selling novelist Peter Chancellor understands with startling clarity the hell he has lived through during the past months. It begins on a lonely stretch of beach in blinding sunlight. A strange blond-haired man had approached him and spoken of unbelievable things. Of explosive private files, of deceit and extortion at the highest levels of government . . . and of a death that was not as it appeared to be.
From that day on Chancellor's life becomes a nightmare. Casual research turns into deadly serious interrogation that compels him to start his novel. He must put Into words what he Is living. Names lead to other names, men to other men . . . and women in the upper echelons of every branch of the government, the media, the intelligence community, including the FBI itself. A pattern of incredible evil begins to emerge. He is followed, chased down dark streets at night. He is shot at; he watches men die . . . men who have been tortured, driven to the brink of insanity —as he is now driven. For he is living the events of his creation, his manuscript.
(continued from front flap)
He hears a name, spoken in the panic of a death rattle. It is "Inver Brass." A clandestine government ^o powerful it makes decisions for the nation without the nation knowing of its existence. It is then that he understands what has been done to him: From that day on the beach, he has been programed by the men of Inver Brass. He has been the bait, the snare, to lure and entrap those who could do what Inver Brass was not capable of doing.
In a shattering climax, fiction and fact become one, and the ultimate truth is revealed.
As always in a Robert Ludlum novel the pace is furious, the action compelling, the plotting ingenious and riveting (there are surprises here that will take your breath away). But beyond this, Mr. Ludlum has created in Chancellor his most complex and human hero, and he has written a book about power and fear that might, in fact, not be fiction at all.
