FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description A small, insignificant company on the edge of bankruptcy has discovered an alchemists dream: a miraculous polymer - paint it on a vehicle, any vehicle and voila, you have the equivalent of 30 inches of steel. With war raging in Iraq and Afghanistan, the polymer promised to save thousands of lives, promising to change the course of both wars as well as making its owner billons in profit. Enter Jack Wiley, a successful Wall Street banker somehow learns of the polymer and makes a plan. To make his dream come true, Jack Wiley goes to The Capitol Group, one of the countrys largest, richest and most powerful corporations. Jack and the Capitol Group will partner up for a quick, bloodless takeover of the small company that developed the polymer. A partnership made in heaven? Jacks smarts and Capitol Groups power and influence should be a marriage made in heaven, making them all rich beyond imagination. Once they own the patents they will steamroll Congress and the Pentagon to get the polymer into production, via a no-bid, fast-track contract. And it goes to plan until the Pentagons investigative service began nosing around. Notes A new thriller set in the greatest scandal Washington DC has ever seen.

Review "A must-read thriller writer . . . a star."--John Sanford"A remarkable writer . . . Haig combines a nice mix of wit and wisdom."--Nelson DeMille"A solid writer of thrillers that mix action and character in roughly equal proportions. Haigs portrayal of Russia around the time of the fall of communism, with its juxtaposition of extreme wealth and abject poverty, will capture the interest of readers who favor thrillers with political overtones. Haig has improved as a writer with every novel, and this one is his most polished. Recommend this one as much for its political and economic insights as for its suspense."--Booklist on The Hunted"Great fun, and the many fans of Haigs Sean Drummond series will find this an exciting, entertaining, and well-written stand-alone diversion."--Library Journal on The Hunted Promotional New York Times bestselling author Brian Haig returns with a new thriller... the story of an all-powerful corporation caught in the greatest scandal Washington D.C. has ever seen!
