Synopsis

Brad Meltzer's #1 New York Times bestseller featuring a two-hundred-year-old code devised by Thomas Jefferson and a present-day conspiracy at the highest level of power .

"Six minutes from now, one of us would be dead. None of us knew it was coming."

So says Wes Holloway, a young presidential aide, about the day he put Ron Boyle, the chief executive's oldest friend, into the president's limousine. By the trip's end, a crazed assassin would permanently disfigure Wes and kill Boyle. Now, eight years later, Boyle has been spotted alive. Trying to figure out what really happened takes Wes back into disturbing secrets buried in Freemason history, a decade-old presidential crossword puzzle, and a two-hundred-year-old code invented by Thomas Jefferson that conceals secrets worth dying for.

From AudioFile:

Years after being caught in the cross fire of a presidential assassination, Wes Holloway comes face-to-face with Ron Boyle, who supposedly died that day. In pursuit of answers, Holloway stumbles onto secret cabals and deadly plots that quickly become connected with Boyle. Scott Brick epitomizes intensity. Whether it is the energy in his voice when speaking as a character or the emphasis he gives each word as the tension escalates, he moves elegantly through the story. The abridgment jumps from setting to setting so that listeners often have trouble catching up to the current scene. L.E. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
