Master of suspense Campbell Armstrong delivers a spine-tingling espionage novel about two men struggling to stop—and survive—a murderous conspiracy based in the darkest corners of the American government

John Thorne lives a good life in Washington, DC, with a girlfriend he adores and a stable job at the White House. But when an old family friend, Major General Burckhardt, gives him an attaché case with a file inside labeled “the Asterisk Project,” John starts investigating. What he uncovers is a secret that could change the world—if it doesn’t kill him first.
