Fearless and incorruptible, Andrew Trevayne is a self-made millionaire,
former undersecretary of state, and current head of one of the nation's
most prestigious foundations. Now, at the express wish of the president,
Trevayne undertakes an investigation into the "secret government"--and
is soon swept up in a tidal wave of intrigue and danger. Beyond the
corridors of official power he discovers a nightmare maze where
billionaires mingle with Mafia dons, where sinister forces are poised to
enact a chilling conspiracy, where Congress and even the presidency
itself can be bought and sold, where survival hinges on a hair trigger.
In this world, a man like Trevayne can easily become a pawn, an
enemy--or a king.
