One dusty old man stands between ISIS, Russia, and the U.S. and billions in gold. In the process of finding him, tens of thousands of people die in Syria and Russia. A gripping story of greed, violence, and vengeance. An Iraqi stonemason drives his family to a construction site to celebrate the project's completion. He arrives late and witnesses the Iraqi military burying all the dead workers, the women, and children in a mass grave. ... Years later, a computer software engineer working late one cold winter night in Virginia slides off the road at a highway exit on his way home. His death, a murder, leads to a favor that leads to clues tying the dead man and the stonemason together. Sitting at his desk one morning, Jason Caius receives an encrypted email containing a series of files. He reads and passes them off to the proper people thinking it's the end. Within days, they summon him to a meeting between the CIA and FBI . At the meeting, he learns that the email and associated files point to the needed evidence in a long-standing case against one of the world's largest private military contractors, an American company. There is only one problem, details about the evidence is known only by the key witness, the stonemason, and he has gone missing somewhere in Iraq. They task Jason with finding the witness, validating the evidence, and extracting them both. Jason's fluency in cultural nuances, local dialects, and regional geography make him the best person to blend in, with the requisite skills to survive and adapt to the chaos that is Iraq. The pursuit takes him all over Iraq, to Iran, and to multiple theaters of war, facing Iraqis, ISIS killers, Russians, and corrupt Americans. But, he's not the only one hunting for the witness. Review ... "So near the truth, as I watch the nightly news with my book in hand, it shakes me to my core." - The Times "Details and scenery are picture perfect." From The Author ... If you're a fan of Mark Greaney, John Grisham, James Patterson, Jack Higgins, Tom Clancy, David Baldacci, Lee Child's Jack Reacher, Robert Ludlum's Bourne and Janson, then you'll love this page-turning Jason Caius political thriller. Jason is a combination of stealthy CIA agent and university professor. He is smart in his ways and brutal when the occasion requires it. And, Max Boroumand is an author whose life experiences working and living in the world's most volatile areas, dealing with governments and large multi-national corporations, have introduced him to many of the characters in his books. His attention to detail is uncanny and make his work seem non-fiction. The truths to which he was privy are frightening.
