From James Grady, the author of Six Days of the Condor, comes a tightly written and expertly paced thriller about an ex-con and former Black Panther named Faron Sears who is marked for assassination. Sears has turned himself into a billionaire and philanthropist and is reluctant to declare himself a candidate for the presidency, despite his obvious appeal to an electorate hungry for the visionary leadership he seems to offer. When it becomes clear that someone within his organization has set him up to be killed, a pair of F.B.I. agents and a D.C. cop are assigned to protect Sears and find the traitor.
