From the author of monumental bestsellers comes an ingeniously plotted thriller set in Washington DC during the spring of 1993, marking the dawn of a new political era. Meanwhile, in Baghdad, disillusionment with the unelected president grows. Sensing this unrest, Saddam Hussein devises a bold plan to settle scores with the United States. He uses $100 million to ensnare three key players: a powerful American Mafia boss, the world's greatest forger, and a special assistant to President Bill Clinton. Saddam's objective is to embarrass the U.S. by stealing a significant piece of its history and destroying it in front of the global media. With a sophisticated criminal network operating with Swiss-watch precision, and a skilled actor undergoing plastic surgery to impersonate Clinton, he sets his scheme in motion. As the countdown to July 4, 1993, begins—potentially the most humiliating day in U.S. history—two lovers, a beautiful Mossad agent and a dashing American professor advising the CIA, emerge as a more formidable weapon than any missile. In this suspenseful narrative, the author reminds us that the values worth dying for are often found in the words that define our history.
