Recently retired Senator Benjamin Hilderman, while taking a sabbatical at his families' cabin in the backwoods of Coos county New Hampshire, is found dead in the middle of the lake. No alarms were raised until there was a problem with the Senators secondary life insurance rider policy that kept on getting kicked backed to the manager Anthony Pratchet of the Senate and House Life Insurance Company. The senator's widow had no knowledge of the secondary policy or the bank account in the Caymans Island.Prompting a very quite investigation into the policy, Anthony begins to uncover some very unusual activity stemming from the policy. Further investigation uncovers a web of intrigue, espionage and terrorism which puts Anthony and his secretary Sherinn into harms way. The trail soon leads them down a dark corridor to the deserts of Afghanistan and the skies over Washington D.C., uncovering dark and perilous corners in the United States Government and world affairs.
