The Book of Fate

The Book of Fate

by Brad Meltzer (Author)

Synopsis

"In six minutes, one of us would be dead. None of us knew it was coming ..." So says Wes Holloway, a once-cocky and ambitious presidential aide, about the day that changed his life forever. On that Fourth of July, Wes put Ron Boyle, the chief executive's oldest friend, into the presidential limousine. By the time the trip came to an end, Wes was permanently disfigured, and Boyle was dead, the victim of a crazed assassin. Eight years later, Boyle is spotted, alive and well, in Malaysia. In that moment, Wes has the chance to undo the worst day of his life. Trying to figure out what really happened takes Wes back to a decade-old presidential crossword puzzle, mysterious facts buried in Masonic history, and a two-hundred-year-old code invented by Thomas Jefferson. But what Wes doesn't realize is that The Book of Fate holds everyone's secrets. Especially the ones worth dying for.

Media Reviews
* 'This white-knuckle thriller portrays cybertheft in the banking world in a beguiling concoction that keeps you hooked from start to finish' - The Irish Times on THE MILLIONAIRES * 'Breakneck... an action-packed read' - Mail on Sunday on DEAD EVEN * 'This is non-stop, well researched action that does not insult the intelligence. The scenarios are credible, the tension excruciating and the ending slaps you in the face.' - Guardian on THE ZERO GAME * 'Meltzer has served up exciting thrillers that take readers behind the scenes of American politics... skillfully written... the characters are genuine human beings-not all that common in the world of high-concept thrillers-and the plot fluidly integrates historical fact and fiction, which is even less common. Fans of thrillers that reach far back into history will be, well,... thrilled.'
