In his inimitable "two track" style of creating a fictional future and flashing back to actual events in recent history, Peter T. King once again places Congressman Sean Cross at the center of international terrorism, this time coming from radical Islam in cahoots with the Irish Republican Army. The "reality-based" track gives a minute-by-minute account of September 11, 2001 and its effect on the cities of New York and Washington, and continues with month-by-month accounts up until September 11, 2002. A leading congressional Republican, King offers keen insight into President Bush's inner circle in the days immediately following the attacks. In King's fictional future New York once again comes under attack, and it falls upon the resourceful Sean Cross to uncover the odd bedfellows that comprise this latest conspiracy to visit terror on American soil.

Tillfälligt slut
In the year 2006, Long Island Congressman Sean Cross, a Republican, is looking forward to re-election when the murder of an IRA informer in his district not only threatens his incumbency, but the fragile Irish peace process as well. In a desperate effort to solve the murder and stave off political defeat, Cross enlists the aid of an old ally in forging the Irish peace accords-former Presdient Bill Clinton, now living in New York. The story moves back and forth from New York, to Belfast, to London, to WAshington, D.C., while real life figures such as Gerry Adams, Tony Blair, and Bill Clinton move seamlessly in flashbacks from actual historic roles to fictional exploits. In crafting this mosaic of historic reality and fictional possibility, Congressman Pete King relies on confidential data and records during the years the Irish Peace process was being forged and the impeachment war was raging. King-a Republican Congressman who voted against impeachment-here provides an unvarnished view of power politics, both in the international arena as well as in the dissection of the Lewinsky affair in the corridors of Congress.
