An enemy of the Saudis, Israelis, and Chinese, Joel Blackman was a Washington D.C. wheeler and dealer for years until he landed a twenty-year sentence in federal prison. But after only serving six years, the outgoing President, during his final moments in the Oval Office, pardons Joel. He is then smuggled out of his own country and put into hiding in Italy. Spy-thrills, suspense, and intrigue mount as world assassins suddenly appear and pursue the apparently incognito Joel Blackman.
