Lou Briganti

More Than Justice Lou Briganti

Coleman Farr, only two years into his first term in the White House, is already dissatisfied. What he covets most is power beyond even the Presidency -- requiring unlimited money, and a position of impregnable privacy ? outside the ?fishbowl? of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Suddenly, ?the keys to the kingdom? appear, a ?gift? from a junior accountant at Uniglobe Petroleum and his high-powered attorney-wife, both of whom die accidentally, within mere minutes of handing over the secret by which Farr will extort an unending flood of petrodollars to his personal use. In his rush to do just that, he has overlooked one small detail ? a member of his own staff noticed the accountant?s unscheduled visit to the White House, and has grown curious. Questions are quietly asked, first in Washington, then in Georgia, the ex-Soviet state that will now become the supply route for billions of barrels of Caspian Sea crude to the West. U. S. Marine Special Forces Capt, Jim Darden, finds his honeymoon cut short by a critical mission. He is secretly ?demoted,? and sent to the US Embassy in Tblisi as Head of its Security Detail, a cover under which he just might learn what no one can in Washington. Skillful as he is, the ambitious and corrupt Ambassador?s ?listeners? grow to suspect his behavior and motives -- hastening their efforts to silence him in a final, and diabolically painful way. Their twisted plan succeeds, forcing on Darden suffering more profound than even his own death. His 11th hour rescue and recovery finds him working with an unexpected ally, driving the wheels of a brutal justice toward those who have corrupted our nation ? on both sides of the Atlantic. Pursued by the global reach of a frantic White House, he races to destroy the conspirators, while searching for a personal peace, finally deciding what he really wants is much ?More than Justice.? MORE THAN JUSTICE ?A BOLD NEW VOICE JOINS THE FAMILY OF THRILLER AUTHORS!?
