How do you believe in a system that kills your best friend?
Thriller writer Robert Grant confronts challenges to his faith in his country, family and friends as he investigates the bombing of a hotel near Penn State University. Bobby’s old friend Dan Trevaine is scheduled to be executed for the crime, tried in the wake of September 11th and the war on terror. When Bobby digs deeper into the evidence, one witness dies and another disappears – is it the work of terrorists or the government agencies charged with combating them?
The truth shakes the foundation of Bobby’s beliefs about right and wrong – and lands his family in the hands of the terrorists. Will they let him live long enough to reveal what he knows, or will Bobby himself choose to suppress the surprising facts behind the crime?
Justice – Coming in 2011
Hours after a Saudi graduate student lands in this country, he’s killed by a hit-and-run driver. The police turn the case over to the FBI when they discover that the victim faked his identity to get into the country, and the federal agents working the death connect it to thriller writer Robert Grant. Bobby and his wife Alicia don’t know what to expect after finding out that the dead man had in his pocket a copy of a magazine article on Bobby and the Pennsylvania bombing – as well as a scribbled note with Alicia’s campus address at the University of Virginia.
Before Bobby can figure out what kind of danger they face, a terrorist act strikes at the heart of our government and returns people to the kind of fear not felt since 9/11. Is the crime related to the dead Saudi, or maybe to the death of a real graduate student in Pennsylvania? If Bobby doesn’t find out in time, the country may soon find itself dealing with another shocking tragedy – but how can he know who to trust?
