About this book

Description

A 1998 Forsyth thriller has the US and Russia worried about the supply and cost of oil which is pushing $20 a barrel. The US President and Russia’s Gorbachev are about to sign a disarmament treaty that has Military hardliners on both sides angry at loss of funds and material. A US oil Barron who talks to God and gets personal responses has gathered a group of oil men and industrialists, all who stand to loose big money if the treaty goes through, in a plot to get the US President out of office. When the President’s son is kidnapped in England, the White House contacts a retired American who had great success in negotiating hostage releases. Going by the sole name of Quinn, this negotiator reluctantly agrees to help with the recovery, but only if is allowed to do it his way. This is reluctantly agreed to, but certain members of the US task force have doubts and suspicions which at times compromise Quinn’s efforts.
