Goliath

If the ultimate immorality of man rules supreme, David Graceson will be dead before the week is over. As an outspoken and cynical librarian in New York, his error was lashing out, in a drink induced state, at the government's corruption and its unaccountable and scandalous behavior. Set in New York after a devastating earthquake. David is thrown into a world where the walls have ears. No one would have guessed that the ex-president of the United States was as psychopathic as he was. James Elliot Thorne was incensed with Graceson's tone, volume and subject matter. In the midst of a re-election attempt, Graceson's revelations were enough to quell any political resurrection. It was astonishing the amount of 'dirt' the drunk had on him and it was well founded. And even though Thorne was advised to let sleeping dogs lie, he took Graceson as a serious threat to his campaign and set out exterminate the pest. Caught up in the tangle with him is Elly O'Connor, a friend from childhood and computer genius with the State Department. Together they engage in a whirlwind of intrigue and suspense that involves ruthless assassinations, blackmail, treason and psychotic self-delusions of biblical proportions. All of which point a path to the highest office in the land. Also drawn into the web of deceit and paranoia is, hard as nails, FBI agent Frank Mackinnley. The veteran, finds himself dealing with a level of cloak and dagger so sordid in its implication , that he himself has to undergo change to survive. His experience in the world of high stakes double cross is most valuable now. The three race, against seemingly sure failure, confronting the most powerful organization in the world, while coming face to face with the most ominous force challenging the human spirit. One that is staging a remarkable comeback. That of pure evil.
