Mark Beamon, maverick FBI agent, has been given one last
chance by the Bureau. Shunted into a job running a sleepy
Southwest office, Beamon is under strict orders to shape
up and do things 'by the book'—the FBI way. There's only
one problem: Crime doesn't go by the book.
Flagstaff, Arizona, is shocked when a millionaire auto
dealer and his wife are brutally murdered in an apparent
botched robbery and kidnapping. It's one of the bloodiest,
clumsiest crimes Beamon has ever seen. The missing teenage
daughter, Jennifer Davis, who stands to inherit
everything, is the prime suspect. Did she and her
boyfriend fake her abduction?
The boyfriend has an alibi, and Beamon has a feeling.
Something is not right about this case. With his new
assistant in tow, and his new girlfriend all but
forgotten, Beamon follows a trail of faint clues and
strong hunches that lead from a remote Unabomber-type
cabin in the Utah mountains, through the labyrinthine
headquarters of the cultlike Church of the Evolution, into
the shadowy, interlocking boardrooms of a high-tech
communications empire.
Beamon has tossed the book aside again, and Washington is
furious; for the church has powerful friends. Then a
bombshell is dropped. The 'murder' of Jennifer's parents
was a double suicide. But why? What did the Davises gain
by killing themselves while their daughter watched? Are
their deaths part of a morbid plot designed to bring
America to its knees? Either way, time
