Everyone was convulsed by the Planes Operation on 9/11. No one heard about the Black Stone Plot. It was to take place on the same day --- September 11, 2001. It failed. The key co-conspirator escaped the collapse of the Twin Towers. He's ready to try again. The time could be a year away --- or one second from now. The clock is ticking . . . Madeline Anthony-Pratt is no different from you or me except that she just found out about the Plot. She climbs over the wall to her neighbor's yard one night to retrieve her cat. Intruders appear. She hides in the shadows. They whisper in a foreign tongue and hold out a Pepsi can covered with black crud. They light a match. The Pepsi can looks like an IED that her brother, Wyatt, wrote about in his emails from Iraq. She's in Tucson, not Baghdad or Baquoba! Why are they trying to blow up her neighbor's house? The men aren't telling as the match gets closer to the wick . . . What Madeline doesn't know will hurt her the most. This is no ordinary plot. It's bigger than 9/11 and far more devastating. The Black Stone Plot has been two thousand years in the making.
